Career orientation is a key milestone in a student's life. Yet, many young people still struggle to concretely discover professions, understand possible career paths, or interact with professionals.
To address this challenge, the JAE Foundation has devised an innovative solution: an immersive virtual career fair, accessible anywhere in France.
Through an interactive digital experience, students can explore different jobs, ask questions to professionals, and better understand the opportunities available to them.
This new format demonstrates that it is now possible to reinvent professional orientation using immersive technologies and virtual platforms.
A virtual career fair accessible anywhere in France
One of the main goals of this project was to make orientation more accessible to students, regardless of where they live.
Access is simple:
- A single web link to join the immersive platform
- Connection available from anywhere in France
- A personalized virtual journey using an avatar
With just a few clicks, participants step into a digital universe dedicated to discovering careers and interacting with professionals.
This approach breaks down geographical barriers and offers the same orientation opportunities to all young people.
An immersive experience to discover careers differently
The JAE Foundation's virtual fair does not just replicate a physical event online -> it offers a truly immersive and interactive experience, designed to capture students' attention and facilitate their discovery of the professional world.
In this virtual environment, participants can move freely, explore different areas, and interact with the available content.
This immersion makes discovering careers more engaging, more concrete, and more memorable.
Virtual booths to explore different sectors and jobs
At the heart of the virtual fair, students can visit various thematic booths dedicated to professions and partners.
Each booth allows discovering:
- business sectors
- specific professions
- organizations committed to supporting young people
This setup allows students to navigate at their own pace and explore the jobs that interest them.
A live broadcast with professionals from the Cité des Métiers in Paris
To enrich the experience, a live broadcast area was integrated into the virtual fair.
Students can attend discussions with professionals, allowing them to concretely discover the realities of the field.
This live broadcast was held from the Cité des Métiers in Paris, an iconic venue dedicated to orientation and information on career paths.
Thanks to these exchanges, participants can ask their questions and get answers directly from experts.
Interactive games to understand the stakes of different jobs
To make discovering careers more dynamic, the virtual fair also offers fun and interactive activities.
These educational games allow students to:
- Better understand the skills required for certain jobs
- Discover the challenges associated with different sectors
- Learn efficiently in a more engaging way
This playful dimension boosts participants' interest and makes it easier to retain information.
A chat and discussion areas to foster interaction
Interaction is an essential element in bringing a virtual event to life.
In this career fair, students have multiple spaces to communicate:
- a general chat to ask questions
- discussions with speakers and professionals
- an expression wall to share their impressions
These features promote discussions and allow young people to actively participate in the event.
Reinventing student orientation with immersive technologies
This project shows that immersive technologies can transform how students discover professions.
The virtual fair offers many advantages:
- reaching a larger number of students
- offering an interactive and engaging experience
- facilitating connections between young people and professionals
- making orientation more accessible and modern
By combining immersion, interactivity, and accessibility, this type of event paves the way for a new generation of career fairs.
The goal is clear: to give young people the keys to their success by plunging them today into the reality of tomorrow's professions.
