There's no way to get a Thunderbolt 2 system to run like a USB-C system that supports video output. But a standard USB-C link only gets one GPU interface, which can only be split across multiple displays when the system and OS support DisplayPort MST.

The only way to run more than one display via a single output on a Mac today is with actual Thunderbolt, which can carry two independent GPU interfaces over a Thunderbolt link and assign one to each display.

On top of that, since Mac OS itself doesn't support DisplayPort MST, you can't drive multiple displays via a single USB-C output even on Macs that HAVE native USB-C. And even if it did, you still wouldn't be able to charge the system that way. Or a Thunderbolt 2 connector can carry a Thunderbolt 2 signal, which carry DisplayPort and PCIe simultaneously (USB would be carried over PCIe between the system and dock), but the WD15 doesn't support Thunderbolt. A Thunderbolt 2 port can carry "raw" DisplayPort traffic when used as a simple Mini-DisplayPort connector, but then you only get display traffic rather than USB traffic. The WD15 requires a system that has a USB-C connector that supports USB 3.1 Gen 1 or better, DisplayPort Alt Mode, and (if you want to charge your system from the dock) being charged over USB-C via USB Power Delivery.
And you're not doing anything wrong, but Googe89 you should find a new IT shop, because they are completely wrong about being able to use Thunderbolt 2 systems with USB-C docking stations.
