This webinar focuses on discussing the implementation of simulation-based learning at the University of North Texas at Dallas to prepare students for real workplace dilemmas and career readiness. Ken Spero from SchoolSims moderates a panel discussion with Sam Anderson (Director of Experiential Learning), Kenne’ Johnson (Program Manager, Conrad Leadership Program), and Dr. Kimberly Riddick (Director of Student Leadership & Success) about their collaboration to develop workplace simulations that align with NACE competencies.
The team discusses how simulations provide safe spaces for students to practice professional skills, make decisions in ambiguous situations, and receive feedback before entering actual workplace environments. They share insights about co-creating simulations with student interns using AI technology, and emphasize the value of allowing students to experience different approaches to problem-solving.
The webinar concludes with a live demonstration of the Team Accountability simulation, where participants experience making decisions as a team leader dealing with a struggling team member named Jordan.
