Interplay Learning announced the expansion of its Apprenticeship Services and the launch of Engagement Services. These strategic services are designed to help organizations tackle two of the industry's biggest challenges: developing qualified workers and keeping learners engaged in ongoing training and professional development.

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 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 a way for apprentices to fulfill their Related Technical Instruction requirements. From pre-apprenticeship programs to multi-year registered apprenticeships, Interplay aims to businesses diversify their talent pipeline, ensure workers gain job-relevant skills, and build lasting employee loyalty through meaningful career development.

Interplay's Engagement Services will handle program audits, progress tracking, automated communications and streamlined reporting.
