The UK Government’s Department for Education (DfE) launched on Tuesday its first augmented reality (AR) Careers Fair, which aims to educate young learners on their education and training options. The DfE’s ‘Get the Jump’ campaign is the first AR-powered programme in England’s history as well as for the government body. Users can join the AR Careers Fair via the Snapchat camera app and select the ‘Get the Jump’ Skills for Life icon to access the fair and its website. Rebecca Thould, Head of Campaigns for Young People and Adult Skills at the Department for Education, explained that research showed young people enjoyed hearing from other young professionals via their experiences. She added,“We know that Snapchat reaches 90 per cent of 13-24 year olds in the UK so partnering with Snap was an obvious choice for the DfE.
