Some of those apps may work inside Windows 11, with their built in 'rosetta' like tech - your IT guy may not know that exists. But they probably won't work on Fusion (yet) because of the rudimentary vmware tools and drivers. Once the new tech preview comes out, it'd be worth giving it a try.
Unfortunately though, if they don't, the option is going to be to run old Mac hardware (which becomes untenable in 2-4 years when MacOS stops being supported on intel machines), or buying a PC.
