With Interplay Learning's immersive, on-demand training courses and skills assessments, Dominium is engaging its maintenance associates with life-like 3D simulations and training content designed to update and grow their technical skills in-house. With a diverse catalog of technical courses and custom learning paths assigned to each associate's skill level and property needs, Dominium delivers a robust, just-in-time training curriculum to 350+ associates across their 230 communities.

"We're seeing a transformation of our hiring and retention process through Interplay Learning's powerful, ever-evolving training curriculum and learning paths," said Eric Pogue, Dominium's Vice President of Maintenance and Capital Improvements. "The foundational courses and up-to-date content empower our teams to self-direct their learning and grow in their careers with us, which translates to not only higher retention but also high-quality resident experiences. Interplay's offerings play a critical role in supporting our mission to provide communities across the country with successful long-term housing outcomes."

Dominium helps tackle the affordable housing crisis by developing and operating high-quality, stable, affordable homes that serve as the foundation for healthier lives and more vibrant communities.
