HB 5668 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING VIRTUAL REALITY TRAINING FOR STUDENTS IN CAREER EXPLORATION.

HB 5668 would expand existing virtual reality (VR) training programs for high school students as part of career exploration, directly affecting students in public high schools. The bill amends state education laws to scale these programs, allowing schools to use VR technology for hands-on career simulations. Key provisions include updating curriculum standards to integrate VR tools for exploring various professions, such as healthcare or engineering. This policy change focuses on making career exploration more accessible through technology, without specifying particular industries or funding mechanisms.
