Interplay Learning Launches Skill Verification
Skill Verification from Interplay Learning offers 20 simulation-based assessments for skilled trades workforce readiness and task evaluation.
Interplay Learning has launched Skill Verification, a simulation-based assessment tool for skilled trades and industrial roles. The product gives supervisors and safety leaders step-level evidence of a worker’s readiness before dispatch, contractor authorization, new-hire placement or promotion decisions. Its initial catalog includes 20 assessments across commercial HVAC, facilities management, manufacturing, data centers and critical infrastructure. The assessments use simulated equipment and conditions to evaluate task-specific ability.
Assessing Hands On Skills
Employers can use the assessments to check ability in areas including electrical safety and industrial controls. The launch catalog includes Using a Digital Multimeter, Tool Selection and Inspection, and Industrial Electrical Lockout/Tagout Safety Procedure. It can also support educational institutions and workforce development programs assessing students before they enter the workforce.
“You can have your OSHA, EPA and NATE certifications and still not be able to perform the job in the real world”
“What Skill Verification gives us is a way to actually demonstrate and prove that a technician can perform the skills we need them to perform. That's incredibly valuable as we continue to grow.”
Step Level Results
Each assessment produces an objective score and detail on missed steps, sequence and decisions. This gives supervisors targeted areas for remediation instead of only a pass or fail result. Organizations can use the results to assess skills consistently across sites, shifts and service partners.
“As skilled trades employers face growing pressure to build and deploy qualified workforces, they need better, safer ways to verify hands-on ability. Skill Verification gives operations and safety leaders objective evidence of demonstrated performance, helping them quickly identify skill gaps and make more informed decisions about workforce readiness.”
Workforce Readiness Decisions
Skill Verification is intended to help organizations select workers for jobs using evidence from simulated task performance. The assessments are available from October 15, 2026.
