Interplay to Provide Training for Sila Services Brands

August 14, 2024

AUSTIN, Texas — Interplay Learning has partnered with Sila Services, a home services company operating in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest, to deliver scalable training solutions across Sila’s 30-plus brands.

Interplay will provide Sila Services’ expanding family of brands with three-dimensional simulation training and career-building training pathways designed to integrate with existing systems, reduce trainer burden, and develop the Sila talent pipeline, a press release from Interplay said.

Interplay’s training content can reduce reliance on location-specific training and dependence on senior technicians and managers for training responsibilities. The mobile and structured shift in learning leads to less disruption in business operations and provides a repeatable solution from apprentices to leadership roles, boosting confidence in technicians’ ability to expand their skill sets and meet customer needs, the press release said.

“Our training philosophy is deeply rooted in our core value of putting people first,” said Edward McFarlane, chief learning and development officer at Sila Services. “We chose Interplay because it's intuitive for our technicians to use and minimizes administrative burdens for our managers. Its user-friendly approach and reporting tools help us efficiently hire new talent, onboard, and develop our own well-rounded workforce.”

“We are proud to partner with Sila Services, a company culturally aligned in its dedication to empowering all levels of the workforce through training,” said Doug Donovan, founder and CEO of Interplay. “Together, we will reimagine the way career training is conducted, from apprenticeship to leadership roles, and build a well-rounded workforce capable of meeting growth goals and industry demands.”
