1 month
Study Arms (2)
VR-JIT
EXPERIMENTALIn this arm, participants would participate in simulated interviews utilizing a software program and virtual interviewer, once a week for 90 minutes.
Wonderworks
PLACEBO COMPARATORIn this arm, participants would participate in a similar intervention, also once a week for 90 minutes. However, in this arm, the intervention would be in a virtual office environment completing office tasks.
Interventions
The treatment group (TX) will complete 7 sessions of VR-JIT (1 sessions per week for 7 weeks), designed to teach the skills \& concepts of job interviews. Sessions are approximately 90 minutes long.
The control group (CT) will complete 7 sessions of Wonderworks (1 session per week for 7 weeks) using skills in an office environment.
