Interplay runs training simulations on regular laptops instead of specialized hardware, making them accessible and widely adopted by employers. The company focuses on skilled trades like electrical and plumbing work, where shortages are acute, helping employers build hiring and training pipelines.
The simulations are pretty slick. It was the first company that I saw that I thought really landed it without the hardware. A lot of the companies you need to have very specialized hardware. This you do not. You just need to have a regular laptop. And that was pretty cool. It is also one of the few that is being used as much as it is by employers. Now, with major clarity, what I'm able to do is connect that workspace learning opportunities so employers in a place in the skilled trades, you all know that it's very hard right now to get an electrician or a plumber. Interplay is coming at that by helping those employers build a pipeline.
