AUSTIN, Texas — Interplay Learning announced the launch of two new Academy programs, Clean Energy and Solar. Additionally, Interplay’s innovative, AI-powered teaching assistant SAM is now available in Interplay Academy to provide support and guidance to learners who are studying online. These new capabilities will help education and workforce development leaders expand their offerings and leverage AI to enhance the learning experience.
The Clean Energy and Solar Academies offer a wide range of courses to prepare learners for entry-level jobs in these rapidly expanding fields. According to an analysis by Lightcast and WorkingNation, green jobs have grown by 50 percent since 2019 and are projected to continue their upward trajectory, making these programs even more valuable. Learners 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-driven mentorship, going beyond simply giving learners the answer in a way that undermines learning. Instead, SAM asks questions and provides additional context to help learners better comprehend the content while also sharpening their critical thinking.
“We are thrilled to open up more pathways to in-demand careers through our new Interplay Academy programs,” said Doug Donovan, founder and CEO, Interplay Learning. “With the addition of SAM, we’re taking our training to the next level, offering a comprehensive solution that meets the needs of both learners and instructors.”
