Audience Introduction
- High Schools & Career & Technical Education (CTE) Programs
Give your students a career before they graduate.
Today’s CTE programs are expected to deliver industry-relevant training on shrinking budgets. Eight24 makes that possible. We deliver pre-loaded VR headsets, structured daily curriculum, and trade-specific certification prep directly to your campus — no expensive lab buildouts, no equipment maintenance, no specialist instructors required.
Your students graduate with hands-on experience in welding, HVAC, plumbing, construction, or automotive technology — and the certifications that make employers take notice.
What Eight24 Provides
- Fully equipped VR training headsets (delivered and configured)
- Structured curriculum aligned with CTE frameworks and Perkins V goals
- Industry-recognized certification prep (AWS, EPA 608, OSHA, NCCER, ASE)
- Professional development and soft skills training
- Job placement assistance for graduates
- Technical support throughout the program
Ideal For
High schools with existing CTE programs, schools looking to launch skilled trades pathways, and districts serving students who need direct pathways to employment — not just college prep.
- Community Colleges & Workforce Development Institutes
Stackable credentials. Minimal overhead. Maximum impact.
Community colleges are on the front lines of workforce development — but too often, the infrastructure required to deliver hands-on trades training creates barriers: expensive equipment, specialized instructors, lab space. Eight24 removes those barriers.
Our programs integrate directly into your workforce division, delivering immersive XR training that meets Pell grant eligibility requirements and produces stackable, industry-recognized credentials. Learners complete your program ready to enter apprenticeships, union programs, or direct employment.
What Eight24 Provides
- VR-based training delivery ready to integrate with your existing structure
- Certification prep aligned with EPA, AWS, OSHA, NCCER, and ASE standards
- Professional development modules for cohort-based learning
- Job placement partnerships and employer connections
- Faculty and facilitator support throughout the engagement
Ideal For
- Nonprofits & Community-Based Organizations
Your mission is getting people employed. So is ours.
Most workforce-focused nonprofits face the same gap: they can connect people to opportunity, but the training programs available are expensive, inaccessible, or incomplete. They train for skills without building the soft skills that keep people employed. They place people without following up.
Eight24 is built to close that gap. We bring the full pathway — immersive skills training, professional development, and job placement support — directly to your organization. You focus on your community. We deliver a program that takes them from enrollment to employment.
What Eight24 Provides
- End-to-end program delivery (equipment, curriculum, support, placement)
- Programming specifically designed for opportunity youth, justice-involved individuals, and underserved adults
- Cohort-based structure compatible with your existing programming calendar
- Data and reporting tools to demonstrate impact to funders
- Grant-friendly program structure with documentation support
Ideal For
- Correctional Facilities & Reentry Programs
Reduce recidivism. Build futures. Start before release.
The research is clear: vocational training inside correctional facilities dramatically reduces recidivism and increases employment outcomes for returning citizens. But quality programming is hard to deliver at scale in secure environments — until now.
Eight24’s VR-based training works in correctional settings without the safety concerns of traditional tools and equipment. Participants earn real certifications, build real skills, and leave with real employment pathways — not just a certificate and a handshake.
What Eight24 Provides
- VR training designed to operate in secure facility environments
- Skilled trades certification prep (welding, HVAC, plumbing, construction, automotive)
- OSHA safety certifications included in every program track
- Professional development: communication, workplace dynamics, interview preparation
- Post-release job placement assistance and employer connections
- Reporting and outcome documentation for facility leadership and funders
Ideal For
- Employers & Industry Partners
Stop waiting for qualified workers. Start building them.
The skilled trades gap isn’t going away on its own. Eight24 gives forward-thinking employers a direct line to a pipeline of pre-trained, certified, job-ready workers — and the ability to influence what that training looks like.
Partner with Eight24 to connect with graduates from our active cohorts, sponsor training programs tailored to your workforce needs, or develop a custom training program built around your equipment, protocols, and job requirements.
What Eight24 Provides
- Access to a pipeline of certified, job-ready graduates across five trades
- Employer partnership opportunities to shape curriculum and hiring priorities
- Custom VR training content development for proprietary equipment or niche roles
- Cohort sponsorship options to build your own talent pipeline
- Pre-employment screening and placement support
