Helping the Government Help America SIMmersion simulations have helped employees of numerous agencies develop or improve a variety of skills, from a customs screening simulation for the US Customs Department to a simulation for the Army for advocates helping victims of sexual assault. Traditionally, most of this training has been done with role plays or classroom lectures. Unfortunately, role play effectiveness is dependent on the ability of the role players, and it is also impossible to practice the same conversations days or months after the role play session. SIMmersion simulations can be used immediately after receiving face to face training, or just minutes before having a difficult conversation. Above all, our simulations provide unmatched levels of interaction and realism and engage learners in ways that text or traditional role plays cannot. Applications of SIMmersion Technology Government agencies have diverse social skills training needs, so SIMmersion simulations for our government clients encompass a broad range of agencies, scenarios, and learner needs. In all simulations, users practice conversation skills in environments that promote learning, develop skills, and build confidence.
Detection of Deception North Star Bank has experienced the theft of $40,000. As a law enforcement officer, your assignment is to talk to Mike Simmen™, a bank loan officer, about the incident and determine whether he was involved. Did he take the $40,000? Mike may be forthcoming with helpful information or he may lie and be evasive. If you're not careful, he may get angry and frustrated with your questions and decide to end the interview. It's up to you to discover the truth. Courtroom Testimony
When on the witness stand, anxiety and nerves can keep you from presenting your information effectively. In this simulation, both the prosecution and defense attorneys question you (as a forensic scientist) on your qualifications and the evidence submitted to the court. To help the prosecutor, you must present technical information accurately and in a way that is readily understandable, but you must also prepare yourself for the defense attorney, who uses tactics to make you look incapable.
Determining Suicide Risk Army infantryman Billy Parker™ is going through a rough time in his life. Marital problems, money issues, lack of job satisfaction, all seem to be pushing Billy toward finding a way out. As an Army Chaplain, you must talk with Billy to determine if he is at-risk for suicide based on your conversation with him.
Screening Passengers As a U.S Customs inspector, you greet Maria Rodriguez™, who has just flown in from Mexico City. Your job is to determine whether you should search her for illegal substances. However, every time you talk with Maria, she will be different. One time she will be innocently nervous; the next, noticeably guilty. Will you search her luggage, knowing that you must have a very strong reason for doing so? Or will you let her go, knowing that she might be smuggling drugs into the United States?
Cultural Sensitivity Training Although classroom instruction can give you important information about other cultures, you still run the risk of offending someone by making simple mistakes in conversation. SIMmersion’s two simulations on non-western cultures can help you prepare to have that type of conversation. Zhou When provides users with exposure to Chinese culture, while Rasheed Ali Abdullah teaches about Arab culture. Navy Recruiting
When Juan Gonzalez walks into your Navy recruiting office, you know nothing
about him. As you discuss what the Navy can offer him, you must also find
out what he can offer the Navy. To do this, you must demonstrate the rapport
building, blueprinting, and selling skills that a Naval Recruiter should
utilize when speaking with a potential recruit. In the real world, you
only have one chance to say the right things to Juan, only one chance
to determine if there is something in his past that would keep him from
serving well. But with the Juan Gonzalez simulation, you (as Navy Recruiter)
can practice and reinforce your conversational skills as many times as you’d
like. By the end of the experience, you will improve your self-confidence in
job performance and your understanding of the role and objectives of a
Naval Recruiter.
