With the skilled trades facing a persistent talent shortage, many companies struggle to build structured training programs while managing day-to-day operations. Interplay’s expanded Apprenticeship Services provide flexible pathways to launch and manage Registered Apprenticeship Programs, while its new Engagement Services help drive learner engagement without requiring organizations to hire additional staff or become experts in workforce development.

"The trades need more qualified workers, and apprenticeships are gaining renewed national attention as a proven solution. But many companies lack the time and resources to build effective programs," said Doug Donovan, CEO and founder of Interplay Learning. "Our services help companies start or manage apprenticeship programs and keep learners on track, removing barriers to workforce development."

With Interplay Learning’s Apprenticeship Services, Interplay’s expert apprenticeship team provides support in navigating the administrative and logistical complexity that comes with running an apprenticeship program. Additionally, Interplay’s simulation-based training offers an engaging, flexible way for apprentices to fulfill their Related Technical Instruction requirements. From pre-apprenticeship programs to multi-year registered apprenticeships, Interplay helps businesses diversify their talent pipeline, ensure workers gain job-relevant skills, and build lasting employee loyalty through meaningful career development.
