Transfr Trek : Learner Quick Start Guide

For: Learners, and the instructors guiding them

This guide runs in the order learners should work: start in Trek Mobile on a computer or phone (Steps 1–4), move to the VR headset (Steps 5–6), then come back to Trek Mobile to compare careers and make a plan (Steps 7–9).

Plan for about 60 to 90 minutes to do everything in one sitting, or split it across sessions — each step shows its own time.

Note: Steps 5–6 are the only ones that need a headset.

Step 1: Launch Trek Mobile (2 min)

There are two ways in, depending on how your organization is set up:

• With single sign-on (SSO): go to your organization's sign-on portal (Clever, ClassLink, etc.), log in, and select the Transfr icon.
• With a username and password: go to trek.transfrinc.com and sign in with the same username and password you use for the Transfr Dashboard.

Either way you land on the Learner Dashboard. On the left-hand side, select the Trek icon.

Step 2: Complete Interest Inventory (5-10 min)

1. Select "Get Ready" to answer 23 questions about your interests and preferences.
2. Select "Matches" to see your career matches — they are ranked from top to bottom by how well they fit your interests.
3. Click on a career to go to its page.

Step 3: Explore and Favorite Careers (10-15 min)

1. Look through your "Best Match" careers to see more details, including the average pay, skills, and the pathway to get there.
2. Favorite 2-4 careers that interest you:
   • Select the heart icon to favorite a career — it is saved to your Favorites list, which follows you into the headset.
   • Try to pick different types of careers, not only the ones that pay the most.

Step 4: Generate a Sim Pass (2 min)

1. Get a Sim Pass for your favorite career:
   • For one of your favorite careers in Trek Mobile, click "Sim Pass".
   • A 5-digit code will appear (write it down or take a screenshot).
   • Remember: Sim Passes expire after 3 days.

Step 5: Explore Career in VR Headset (5-10 min)

1. Put on your VR headset and open Transfr Trek.
2. Enter your Sim Pass:
   • On the login screen, select Sim Pass.
   • With the VR controller, enter the 5-digit code.
   • Select Submit.
3. Select "Play" and complete the VR simulation — at the end, you'll rate the career one to five stars on how interested you are.

A Sim Pass is not the only way in — a learner can also sign in with their account or a classroom code. See How do learners log in to the Transfr Trek app?

Step 6: Explore 1-3 Additional Careers (10-20 min)

1. After you rate a career, head back to the main menu and select "Favorites" to see the careers you saved — complete as many as you have time for.
2. Anything you rate 4 or 5 stars is added to your Favorites in Trek Mobile automatically.

Tip for instructors: when moving from one learner to the next, use the Log Out option inside the Trek app rather than closing the app — that way the next learner doesn't wait for simulations to reload.

Step 7: Compare Careers (5-10 min)

1. Go back to Trek Mobile (on your computer or phone) — your favorites are on the left-hand side.
2. Add careers to Compare by selecting a career and selecting "Compare". Compare is built to hold three careers side by side, so add three if time allows — one is enough to move on.
3. (Optional) If time allows, pick one of the careers you compared and play the Monthly Budgeting Game to explore earning a paycheck in that career while handling common expenses, savings, and emergency costs.
4. Compare your top options.
5. Select one to view the full pathway.

Step 8: Make Your Career Plan (15-20 min)

1. Review the full pathway, including:
   • High School: elective courses you might consider taking.
   • Skills: skills that employers in your local area are looking for in future employees.
   • Extended Learning: local opportunities to pursue certification or 2- and 4-year degrees in your area.
2. On the pathway page, select "Set up Goals" to begin planning.
3. Enter at least one financial, short-term, and long-term goal:
   • Choose from the dropdown or add your own thoughts in the text box at the bottom.
   • If you are not sure where to start, a good first goal is trying a career in VR.

Step 9: Send and Share Your Career Plan (2 min)

1. Select "Send to Counselor" to submit your goals and career choice. This sends your chosen career pathways to your instructor of record (listed on your dashboard).
2. You can also enter email addresses yourself to send your plan to someone else — a parent or family member, or your own address so you have a copy.
3. Download it as a PDF to save it or share it later.
