      What is Career Exploration in Interplay Academy?

      Career Exploration courses enable learners to virtually explore skilled trades careers through a variety of immersive scenarios and interviews with tradespeople.

      Career Exploration is a collection of courses designed to give a glimpse into the skilled trades to students, young adults, or adults transitioning in their careers. They include interviews from tradespeople, videos and simulations with common skills and scenarios someone would encounter in each trade, and a summary of a career in each trade in the form of a downloadable PDF.

      Career Exploration is for anyone who wants to learn more about different careers in the trades. This is the best starting place for any learner who is unsure of which trade Academy program they want to enroll in.
