Interplay Learning Launches Engagement Services and Expands Apprenticeship Offerings
Interplay Learning has expanded its Apprenticeship Services to offer flexible, expert-supported pathways for launching and managing Registered Apprenticeship Programs and launched new Engagement Services featuring specialized experts to help organizations maintain learner engagement and overcome workforce development challenges in the skilled trades without adding staff.
AUSTIN, Texas — November 5, 2025 — Interplay Learning, the leader in immersive learning for the skilled trades, announced the expansion of its Apprenticeship Services and the launch of Engagement Services. These strategic services are designed to help organizations address two major industry challenges: developing qualified workers and maintaining learner engagement in ongoing training and professional development.
With a persistent talent shortage in the skilled trades, many companies find it difficult to build structured training programs while managing daily operations. Interplay’s expanded Apprenticeship Services offer flexible pathways to launch and manage Registered Apprenticeship Programs. The new Engagement Services are designed to drive learner engagement without requiring organizations to hire additional staff or become workforce development experts.
Doug Donovan, CEO and founder of Interplay Learning, stated, “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. Our services help companies start or manage apprenticeship programs and keep learners on track, removing barriers to workforce development.”
Interplay Learning’s Apprenticeship Services provide expert support in navigating the administrative and logistical complexities of running an apprenticeship program. Their simulation-based training offers an engaging, flexible way for apprentices to fulfill 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.
To address the challenge of maintaining learner momentum, Interplay’s Engagement Services employ specialized engagement experts who handle program audits, progress tracking, automated communications, and streamlined reporting. This approach leads to increased learner motivation, allows administrators to reclaim valuable time, and helps businesses accelerate skill development while maximizing training ROI with improved field performance.
Through these expanded strategic services, Interplay Learning continues its mission to make high-quality, skilled trades training more accessible and effective. By removing administrative burdens and providing expert guidance, Interplay enables organizations to focus on building confident, capable teams that drive business results.
