date, Interplay has trained more than 100,000 skilled trades professionals, has 1000+ customers and is on track to reach their goal to train 1M essential workers by 2024. By adding the technology-factor into HVAC training, SkillMill™ presents hundreds of in-the-field scenarios the same way you would play a video game. Point scoring, competition and leader-boards motivate learners to return to their training, aid in retention, provide immediate feedback, and ultimately push learning forward in a safe and enjoyable way. One of the challenges of traditional education is that it often takes a linear path, lacking the flexibility to accommodate different time needs or to scale up when required. Digitally enhanced training, on the other hand, offers learners the benefit of balancing learning and with everyday work and life. This results in more trainees that are job-ready for HVAC careers in just a few months, not years. Plus, with the help of learning paths, training can be customized to meet each individual’s needs, with their progress measured at each stage. Even though HVAC jobs remain among the most difficult jobs in the U.S. to fill, the growth of digital learning is helping to renew interest in them. The new digital training model is fast, efficient, impactful and scalable enough to meaningfully close the skills gap. It allows a new

generation to be better trained and enter the HVAC workforce faster, providing them with a more financially sound career and life. SkillMill™ is already being adopted by companies and organizations across the U.S., setting new standards for a model of HVACR training that truly fits the times.
