Participate in a monthly training consortium facilitated by GTI Energy
GTI Energy aims to foster community engagement with professionals in the energy industry and discuss all things related to advancing workforce development initiatives. To learn about new training needs within the industry and how to address them, GTI Energy is offering the NextGen Training Consortium (NGTC). This consortium will focus on using digital and immersive technologies in developing the next generation of products and services for education and training.
Reach out to attend an upcoming NGTC meeting!
And take a look at the past consortium meeting minutes and presentations below to learn more.

Title: Virtual Training Experiences
Description: Virtual Training Experiences (VTEs) are immersive, virtualized simulations of real-world scenarios, providing a safe, controlled environment for hands-on skill development. These experiences enable learners to engage with realistic challenges, boosting spatial awareness, decision-making, and procedural knowledge acquisition. By closely replicating real-life conditions, VTEs offer a more effective and engaging learning experience compared to passive, observational instruction. Powered by high-resolution graphics and advanced physics engines, VTEs can be deployed across a range of platforms, from immersive VR headsets to non-immersive devices like desktops and laptops. Explore the tools, software, and best practices to integrate these innovative training solutions into your program!

Title: Gamification in Training
Description: Gamification boosts engagement and learning in various training settings, increasing motivation and improving knowledge retention. Replicating themes like Jeopardy, Hangman, and Kahoot in typically non-game contexts makes the learning experience fun and memorable. Scenario-based training games also challenge learners to respond to developing situations, encouraging gamified critical thinking.

Title: Immersive Training in 360-degree Experiences
Description: Interactive 360 experiences provide an enhanced field-of-view of a site, enabling learners to visualize all angles from a central viewpoint! The unique capabilities of 360 experiences offer a heightened sense of immersion, presence, and engagement. 360 experiences can, therefore, promote spatial perception, reasoning, and memory recall in training contexts. The process of creating and distributing 360 content is simple! Learn more about the equipment, programs, and best practices to get started with 360 experiences for your training.
