Skilled trades training platform Interplay Learning<\/a> has introduced new offerings that equip solar organizations to quickly launch flexible, online apprenticeship programs and qualify for IRA incentives.<\/p>\n

Interplay\u2019s apprenticeship packages help solar developers, EPC companies, and commercial-scale contractors set up registered in-house apprentice programs and meet standards for new business opportunities and solar installation tax incentives available through the federal Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe IRA represents an enormous investment in solar installation and opens incredible new opportunities for developers, EPC companies, and contractors,\u201d said Doug Donovan, founder and CEO of Interplay Learning. \u201cUntil now, the cost and complexity of in-house apprentice programs have been a barrier for many business owners. They simply didn\u2019t have the resources to efficiently implement a program that would prepare new and existing team members for large-scale solar installation projects. But with Interplay\u2019s apprenticeship packages, those businesses can establish their own registered apprenticeship training program that can be leveraged to take full advantage of the opportunities available through the IRA and drive growth.\u201d<\/p>\n

The IRA offers up to 30% in tax credits on some large commercial and utility-scale solar installations. To qualify, 15% of total labor hours on the project must be completed by apprentices enrolled in a registered apprenticeship program approved by the US Department of Labor or State Apprenticeship Agency.<\/p>\n

Interplay Learning\u2019s apprenticeship experts help companies start a registered apprenticeship program, supplement existing programs with the right curriculum or provide a turnkey program with ongoing management services and support.<\/p>\n

The program\u2019s modern apprenticeship approach offers flexibility for workers using an online delivery method. Organizations get high-quality, expert-led training and hands-on simulations without the need for in-person teaching. By managing administrative details of the program, Interplay Learning allows companies to focus on their core operations while benefiting from Interplay\u2019s insights to easily track progress and compliance.<\/p>\n

With Interplay Learning\u2019s apprenticeship packages<\/a>, business owners can identify and implement an apprentice program suited to their specific needs.<\/p>\n
