- Water utilities are facing challenges with a shrinking, aging workforce and inadequate training methods.
- The decline in certified replacements for water operators is becoming a significant issue.
- Traditional training methods like job shadowing and manuals are not sufficient for building confidence and capability during emergencies.
- Extended Reality (XR) offers immersive training solutions like VR and AR to enhance workforce readiness.
- XR provides realistic training scenarios for handling complex tasks with up to 75% better knowledge retention.
- Immersive training with XR allows crews to practice high-risk tasks repeatedly, leading to faster response times and fewer mistakes.
- XR enables crews to be prepared for rare emergencies by simulating various scenarios under pressure.
- Implementing XR in training should focus on high-risk procedures that have the most impact and benefit from immersive practice.
- XR is not just about technology but about building readiness and real-world capability in a risk-free environment.
- Industries like aviation and defense have successfully adopted XR for training, and water utilities can benefit from its application.
- XR accelerates onboarding, reinforces experience, and provides valuable data on performance, ensuring a more efficient and prepared workforce.
