Using StellarX, we recreated all the environments, installations, and equipment involved in the 101 metallurgy course offered to Quebec’s Metallurgy Sectoral Workforce Committee (CSMO-M) members... completely virtually. The resulting immersive class, acting as a springboard for students wanting to begin or improve their technical training without any risk of injury, damages, or waste of consumable goods, greatly facilitates the onboarding of new metallurgists, all while helping general staff retention and making learning more fun.
