The challenges raised up by the COVID-19 pandemic are constantly requiring a certain degree of adaptation. In this perspective, the virtual reality tool might represent an innovative understanding of digital transformation through digital readiness, resilience and capacity. Specifically, workers in the field of education need to be ready for using technology even in the post-COVID era. It is quite clear that technology use will be maintained also in the future and the labour market will require the adaptation of the training curriculum. Virtual reality (VR) is an eligible tool, since it enhances the digital component and it is highly flexible and easy-to-use. XR_Skill Project combines the digital environment with soft skills training directed to teachers and educators.

XR_Skill Project aims at fostering teachers and educators soft skills through an improvement of University curriculum for undergraduates and post-graduates psychologists soft skills in the use of Virtual Reality for training and education. Through XR_Skill Project, psychology students and post-graduates, whose specialization consists in this skill training, will be introduced to a new way for upskilling and reskilling of workers.
