AUSTIN, Texas — Interplay Learning and home services provider Peterman Brothers Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical have agreed to a strategic partnership to deliver a career- development platform to 10 Peterman service branches.

Peterman Brothers, based in Indianapolis, Indiana, offers a range of residential services, including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and drain-clearing. The partnership with Interplay will help accelerate Peterman’s ability to acquire, integrate, and grow new branches by delivering centralized, leading training resources, including hands-on three-dimensional and virtual-reality simulations, a press release from Interplay said. The partnership will empower Peterman’s 250-plus technicians of all levels with the tools to hone their technical skills and better serve their customers, the press release said.

Peterman has branches dispersed across wide geographic areas, and the partnership will enable the company to overcome cost and capacity challenges by providing consistent and scalable online training, regardless of location. This solution ensures that all employees can access top-tier training resources, facilitating ongoing skill development and standardization across the organization, the press release said.

“We are excited to partner with Interplay Learning to provide our new and seasoned technicians with a powerful and robust career development platform that meaningfully develops their careers,” said Chad Peterman, president of Peterman Brothers. “This partnership will not only support us in streamlining and growing our operations across our branches but improve upward mobility for our workforce while better serving our valued customers.” 

“We’re strategically aligning Interplay’s platform to our paths of progression and career development initiatives. Our goal is to identify learning gaps and provide targeted interventions that support each technician’s unique journey,” said Andrew Hasty, director of learning and development at Peterman Brothers. “Interplay's all-in-one platform allows us to track progress, identify areas for improvement, and provide scaffolded support to meet techs where they are to help them succeed.”

“Interplay is excited to partner with Peterman Brothers, a mission-aligned company leading with technological innovation to transform how training is done in the home services industry,” said Doug Donovan, CEO and founder of Interplay. “We are honored to work alongside them to boost acquisition success and provide their valued workforce with targeted skills and knowledge they need to thrive in their careers.”
