Learning to play together announced the launch of two new Academy programs, Clean Energy and Solar. Additionally, Interplay’s AI-powered teaching assistant SAM is now available in the Interplay Academy to provide support and guidance to students studying online. These new capabilities will help leaders in education and workforce development expand their offerings and leverage AI to enhance the learning experience.
Building on the success of Interplay’s existing trade programs, the Clean Energy and Solar Academies offer a wide range of courses to prepare students for entry-level jobs in these fast-growing fields. According to one analysis According to Lightcast and WorkingNation, green jobs have grown 50% since 2019 and are expected to continue their upward trajectory, making these programs even more valuable. Apprentices can also earn industry-recognized credentials such as the OSHA 10-Hour Construction Credential through Interplay Learning’s partnership with CareerSafe, helping them stand out in an increasingly competitive workforce.
Another key innovation in this release is SAM, Interplay’s AI teaching assistant. SAM, short for Skill Advisor and Mentor, takes a distinctive approach to AI-powered mentoring that goes beyond simply giving students answers in ways that undermine learning. Instead, SAM asks questions and provides additional context to help students better understand the content while sharpening their critical thinking.
“We’re excited to open more pathways to in-demand careers through our new Interplay Academy programs,” said Doug Donovan, founder and CEO of Interplay Learning. “With the addition of SAM, we are taking our training to the next level and providing a comprehensive solution that meets the needs of both students and instructors.”
By expanding into clean energy and solar and adding SAM to the platform, Interplay Learning continues to position itself as an all-in-one solution for career readiness in the professions. Interplay Academy’s turnkey solution provides accessible, expert-led training that prepares participants for a better career and a better life.
