Virtual learning experiences include time management, employment skills, interview skills, finances, social life, and healthy living. Achieving winning outcomes in these simulated experiences requires learners to develop basic skills while building and adopting attributes such as resiliency, perseverance, and confidence.

“When we acquired Simcoach Games, we believed that digital experiences could be used to transform decision-making and facilitate the adoption of winning behaviors,” says Brian Kaleida, Simcoach CEO. “Since that acquisition, sectors as diverse as healthcare, workforce readiness, safety and education have used Simcoach’s products to prepare learners to assess skills, explore interests, make choices and absorb information in a safe, personalized and interactive space.” Mr. Kaleida continues, “We were pleased to work with Marquis Software to offer these transformative learning experiences to people preparing to re-enter their communities and become productive contributors to society.”
