On 5 September 2025, Blue Tongue joined Programmed at the Boddington Careers Expo in WA to connect with local high school students and showcase the future of workforce training. Our team provided hands-on demonstrations of Better Than Reality’s immersive VR system, allowing students to experience how technology is reshaping safety, skills development, and career pathways in mining and trades. The response was overwhelmingly positive, with students quickly adapting to the simulations and showing genuine excitement about the possibilities of VR in their future careers. Events like this highlight the importance of engaging the next generation early and sparking interest in industries that will continue to play a critical role in Australia’s economy.
