The new Owens Corning University (OCU) VR Training is designed to help contractors elevate their skills, boost retention and improve jobsite performance. The modules include training for shingle installation, ridge ventilation, flashing techniques, and deck inspections, all delivered in an immersive, hands-on simulation in a VR headset. Training is available in both English and Spanish and includes assessment features that integrate results directly with OCU, for certification and performance tracking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cAs the demands on today\u2019s roofing crews continue to grow, we know that high-quality, practical training leads to fewer jobsite injuries, improved productivity, and higher retention of key employees,\u201d stated <strong>Anthony Fontana, Digital Information Leader at Owens Corning<\/strong>. \u201cPartnering with PIXO to bring tailored VR training to roofing professionals allows us to deliver consistent, lifelike, scalable learning that meets contractors where they are &#8211; on the jobsite or in the office.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Since PIXO\u2019s Reality Intelligence Platform\u2122, is fully integrated with Owens Corning\u2019s LMS, Owens Corning University (OCU), this enables roofing businesses to easily assign training, track progress, and manage content across locations. The VR solution gives contractors powerful solutions to deploy immersive training, streamline onboarding, and reinforce advanced techniques without expensive, risky, time-consuming, less effective training methods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cWe\u2019ve always believed the value of VR training helps people learn faster and retain more, driving safer, more productive jobsites,\u201d said <strong>Sean Hurwitz, CEO of PIXO<\/strong>. \u201cExpanding our work with Owens Corning into the roofing segment is another example of how VR training elevates both safety and performance across trades. It\u2019s a real win for contractors who want measurable results from their training investment, at a time where reducing costs is a high priority.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Owens Corning roofing VR training program, available through OCConnect\u00ae, includes a VR headset, preloaded with training modules and ongoing updates as new courses are released.
