Abstract
In a competitive environment, technology such as virtual reality stands out as a fundamental pillar for the training of future engineers and becomes essential in production processes. The adoption of technologies in training and education is presented as an effective strategy to achieve positive results, so this research proposes the implementation of training through a practical case in the steel industry. This case illustrates the successful integration of immersive virtual reality to enhance worker training, recognized as essential to boost efficiency and the quality of transmitted information, as well as to mitigate occupational risks. The results of this study demonstrate the rapid transformation and digital adoption of new technologies, emerging as a strategic tool to keep workers updated and prepared for the changing challenges of the work environment.
