What if you could reduce errors and accidents in the workplace through education that was not only effective, but engaging as well?
Employees in today's industrial workforce have to deal with dangerous environments and hazardous conditions on a daily basis. Last year, nearly 6,000 fatalities occurred in the U.S. due to workplace accidents, according to the Occupational Safety and Heath Association ("OSHA"). The National Safety Council reports that occupational injuries and fatalities result in over 1 billion hours of lost time per year. With turnover rates expected to be as high as 70-90% in the next several years, employers face a growing workforce of young recruits in need of fast, effective training.
Etcetera Edutainment uses highly interactive simulations to address costly gaps in current industrial training programs. These simulations provide learners with a realistic experience with the equipment, people, and processes that they can expect to encounter on the job, without the real danger.
Immersing learners in complex and customizable scenarios ensures that they participate in the training. Trainees actively apply learning to real situations, and receive feedback in real-time based upon the decisions that they make. This type of "experiential learning" is highly effective, and results in greater compliance, comprehension, and retention of the safety instruction, at levels similar to those of real-life hands-on training.
