Culver City, CA

Yass Prize semifinalist, Be More Colorful, and XAP Corporation, leading providers of career exploration technology are excited to announce their strategic alliance to bring virtual reality career exploration to students across the nation. 

Be More Colorful’s CareerViewXR experiences use 360-degree technology to produce interactive web-based tours and companion virtual reality videos that get students into the heart of a career. Students and job seekers love getting up close and personal with the experiences, having fun and learning about high-demand industries such as healthcare, skilled trades, energy, and more.

Matt Chaussee, CEO and co-founder of Be More Colorful said, “Through this partnership with XAP we are taking a substantial step forward in achieving our vision of providing equitable access to career exploration for every student in every state. A huge thank you to the XAP team for their efforts making CareerViewXR’s authentic, real-world career experiences readily accessible through the Choices360 platform. We’re excited to continue down this path together, helping students everywhere make more informed career decisions.”

XAP Corporation has been trailblazer in the education industry since creating the first online college application in 1988. Recognizing the evolving needs of students and educators, XAP developed Choices360, a comprehensive career and college exploration and planning platform designed to support students on all postsecondary pathways, from career, college and vocational training to military service and direct entry into the workforce.

XAP Corporation, General Manager Carla Fermelia expressed her excitement “We‘re thrilled to collaborate with Be More Colorful, united in our mission to empower students to vividly envision their career paths with unparalleled clarity.”

Engaging students in in-person career exploration is challenging!  Educators often face substantial time, geographic, financial, safety, and financial constraints which prevent students from experiencing in person the world of work. CareerViewXR overcomes those barriers with authentic content that brings the jobsite to the classroom.

CareerViewXR’s interactive web-based tours and companion virtual reality videos will complement Choices360’s robust career exploration content and assessments! Students can discover and engage with careers using technology that engages their imagination. 

Together XAP and Be More Colorful now serve all students in the state of North Dakota providing career exploration at a level never seen before, empowering students to make better decisions about their futures.
