Got Skills People Keep Asking You About? Maybe It’s Time to Teach.

If you’ve been in the trades or clean energy industry for a while, you may be one of those people who get asked the same questions over and over. How do you approach this tricky install? What’s your process for troubleshooting? What tools do you actually use day-to-day?

That may just be your cue. When other professionals repeatedly come to you for answers, you have knowledge worth sharing more broadly.

Teaching Made Accessible

HeatSpring makes it straightforward to turn your expertise into a course. Some instructors create small, private courses for their teams. Others develop courses that become industry standards, used by companies for onboarding and training nationwide.

Why Teach?

Beyond the fact that instructors earn revenue, teaching gives you something else: a reason to step back and organize what you know.

It’s like writing a book, but more accessible. You get to codify your experience, connect with people entering the field, and create something that outlasts individual projects. For many instructors, their course becomes a platform for consulting work, speaking opportunities, and professional relationships they wouldn’t have found otherwise.

We’re Looking for Practical Skills Training

Right now, we’re specifically looking for instructors who can teach foundational skills courses:

  • Introduction to Power Tools
  • Introduction to Hand Tools
  • Material Handling

These are the building blocks that every field professional needs, and we’d like to offer quality instruction in these areas.

If you’ve trained crew members, led job sites, or just found yourself explaining the right way to use tools and handle materials more times than you can count – this might be for you.
