Give new employees the skills
to succeed

In a fast-changing, digitally accelerated world, you need effective learning and development solutions that you can activate quickly. Immersive learning simulations provide skills-based, practice-oriented experiences for learners. Personalized learning paths and relevant content help embrace different skill levels and learning styles.

Create onboarding checkpoints

Immersive simulations objectively assess a new hire’s ability to apply skills in your business context.

Turn mistakes into learning opportunities

Allow new employees to practice critical decision making safely in realistic business contexts and learn from their mistakes.

Personalize
learning

New employees bring varied skill levels to the business. Recognize their expertise and use skills assessment to customize their learning path from the get-go.

Delight new hires

The modern workforce expects engaging learning anytime, anywhere, in bite-sized chunks. Delight new hires by building immersive experiences into onboarding journeys.

Impact

A digitally transformed solution

Traditional onboarding methods, including virtual instructor-led training, are too costly, time-consuming and prove impossible to scale. Immersive simulation helps you adapt to digital asynchronous delivery, to ensure onboarding success.

CLIent story

Future-proofing
onboarding success

A global professional services firm partnered with ETU to deploy immersive simulations at strategic points within their 120 day onboarding program, targeting 55,000 new hires over a 5 year period. The simulations were designed to capture the range of working situations the new hires would find themselves in once in the job. Preparing for their new roles, the new employees navigated complex situations in the simulations and applied their knowledge.

Client success story
Before ETU, the new hires would pass the knowledge tests of the onboarding program and enter the job role where significant ‘compliance mindset’ issues would manifest. Now behavioral issues are accurately identified and remediated, significantly reducing the risk profile of new hires in the job.
