Opportunity brief
Part-Time Electrician Career Coach
(Flexible, Paid Workshops + Upside)
About CourseCareers
CourseCareers is an online education platform that helps people launch new careers without a college degree or prior experience.
We work with industry professionals to create job-focused courses that teach practical, employer-aligned skills in technology, business, and the skilled trades. Our students are career changers looking for realistic, entry-level opportunities — and coaching helps bridge the gap between coursework and landing the job.
About the Role
We're looking for a part-time Electrician Career Coach to support students through live workshops and optional 1:1 coaching.
This is not a traditional employment role and not a guaranteed-income position. It's a flexible, paid opportunity best suited for experienced electricians who enjoy mentoring, teaching, and helping others break into the trade — with upside if students choose to work with you.
How This Role Actually Works
- You host a live, one-hour workshop (seminar-style) for students - You are paid $50 per workshop, plus any private coaching business you acquire - You may receive exclusive coaching opportunities based on performance and engagement - Workshops are used to provide value, answer questions, and showcase your real-world experience - If students choose to book you for 1:1 coaching, you keep the coaching revenue - You set your own availability and working hours
There is no requirement to convert students — workshops are paid regardless — but conversion is where the upside comes from.
Responsibilities
- Host a live, one-hour workshop on a monthly basis - Answer student questions about the electrical trade and job search - Share real-world insight into what entry-level electrician roles and apprenticeships actually look like - Provide optional 1:1 coaching to students who request it
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years of professional experience as an electrician (residential, commercial, or industrial) - Interest in mentoring and helping career changers enter the trades - Strong communication and teaching ability - Availability at least three evenings per week, ideally Tuesday–Thursday - Self-starter mindset — comfortable leading workshops independently
Ideal Fit
This role is a great fit if you:
- Enjoy teaching and mentoring - Want flexible, side income - Like the idea of being paid to teach — with optional upside - Don't need guaranteed hours or full-time income
Compensation
- $50 per one-hour workshop (One per month guaranteed) - Unlimited upside from 1:1 coaching sessions you convert - No caps, no quotas, no minimums
