San Francisco, Calif., June 25, 2025– SweetRush, a global leader in innovative learning strategies, solutions, and technologies, is proud to announce its No. 1 status on eLearning Industry’s first-ever list of Top eLearning Companies for Simulation Training.
Simulation training helps employees learn by doing—as they apply new skills, make choices, and experience the results—all in a safe, controlled, virtual environment. eLearning Industry founder Christopher Pappas describes simulation training as “a proven way to make learning stick” by boosting learner engagement, retention, and on-the-job performance with zero risk safety, property, or relationships.
Pappas adds that the current state of interactive and immersive learning technologies make this an ideal moment for L&D leaders and teams in a wide range of industries to embrace simulation training.
SweetRush earns its No. 1 status on the list with its “powerful immersive training that prepares [your] people for real-world challenges,” as well as the SweetRush team’s dexterity in leveraging extended reality (XR) and AI tools, “which fosters deep engagement, helping teams master complex skills for measurable results.”
Esteban Cascante, Director of XR at SweetRush, credits his team’s success with its “shared commitment to delivering value to our customers and enhancing the performance of thousands of learners worldwide” and to remaining at the leading edge of the latest technologies and techniques.
Cascante notes, “As corporate training evolves and AI offers immediate access to a vast array of knowledge, simulations will become increasingly vital for learners and organizations, because they demand critical thinking and deep understanding beyond mere memorization. Thanks to integrated analytics, companies can also assess their learners’ preparedness for real-world situations and implement course corrections as needed.”
As a technology-agnostic company, SweetRush is driven by each client-partner’s organizational, learning, and business needs, rather than a single product or platform. World-class client-partners like Hilton, Capgemini, Google, Coursera, Bayer, and Bridgestone trust the SweetRush team’s expertise in simulation training, immersive technologies, needs analysis, and learning science.
Renowned for its L&D-first innovations such as its AI-L&D Continuum,™ immersive learning strategies, Transformational Design Standards (TDS), and award-winning custom learning solutions, SweetRush has been inspiring L&D leaders and stakeholders since its founding in 2001.
