Matt and Corey sit down with Hayden Morison, Director of Sales and Marketing at Next World Enterprises to explore how Virtual Reality is transforming the way apprentices learn.
Hayden walks them through why VR is a genuine training tool that gets students more engaged, more prepared and more confident before they ever set foot on a real job site. He also shares the story behind the company itself, from scrappy start-up to a product now being delivered across 13 regions and languages worldwide. Whether you’re passionate about innovation in training or just love a good business growth story, this episode delivers on both fronts.
This conversation is just as exciting from an innovative perspective as it is from a business perspective, as Hayden walks us through the journey of working for a start-up in its infancy, through to a company now delivering a product to 13 regions and languages worldwide.
Key Takeaways:
- VR gives students the ability to practise skills in a safe, controlled environment before stepping foot on a real job site
- The technology is no longer niche — Next World now delivers its product across 13 regions and languages, signalling VR is becoming mainstream in vocational education
- Engagement is significantly higher in VR than traditional training methods — students are more present and retain more
