Training – Project Whitecard

Street Sense

Driver training is an important part of getting new drivers or those new to B.C. on the road. Street Sense is a joint collaboration between ICBC, the Province of British Columbia, TELUS and Project Whitecard. It is funded through the Province’s Strategic Investment Fund. The Street Sense software (Apple, Android, VR, PC) is designed to help new drivers become familiar with their surroundings and identify potential dangers. The program also helps to teach hazard-perception techniques that can be used to avoid accidents. By increasing awareness and understanding of how to safely share the road, driver training can help make our roads safer for everyone.

DRIVR-X VR SAFE DRIVING PROGRAM

Launched in Manitoba and Saskatchewan!
DRIVR-X: is a full-body virtual reality experience that has efficacy for young people in the transfer of skills in avoiding distracted, impaired and speeding situations on the road. Using entirely new approach to virtual reality, the user moves from standing in a social situation to sitting in a mock-up of a jeep which one can actually drive. Not only is this type of driving a first in VR, the complexity of the characters who meet your gaze and interact is also a VR first.
Project Whitecard is very pleased and honoured to undertake such a project with Manitoba Public Insurance.
DRIVR-X is touring schools in Manitoba for at least the next two years!

Congratulations Grand River First Nation, on your wonderful game project! From tugboats to monorails to hard-hats and tools, what could be a more fun way to learn about construction careers than Breaking Ground? Not much

Breaking Ground is an Aboriginal Construction Career Awareness Tool designed to:

increase awareness of career opportunity in the construction industry,
improve access to construction careers, information and linkages to the construction industry, and
create a call to action to members of the aboriginal community to explore careers in construction.

The tool will help individuals identify fun and possible construction careers, help them to find ways to establish a career in construction, and will stimulate the individual to actively seek a construction career.
