About HeatSpring
Workforce solutions for Climate Action
The energy transition is happening. Will your team lead or follow?
The solar industry grew at a 33% average annual rate over the past decade as installation costs fell. Those were amazingly good years for the solar industry. But look at how those years pale in comparison to projected growth over the next decade.
Let’s talk about how your team will lead during this once-in-a-generation energy transition.
HeatSpring is the platform for upskilling your team
Founded in 2007, HeatSpring is a platform with 354 courses serving a community of 119,200 professionals. 182 of our courses are free, and we’re a leading provider of clean energy certifications like NABCEP, OSHA, FAA and others.
We build custom enterprise programs. If you think HeatSpring might be the partner your team needs, please reach out right away. Teams are at the heart of everything we do. We’re building enterprise tools to help make employee learning something that happens every day, not just on special occasions.

Creating a future where we all thrive
"We" are just a handful of normal people who are easy to connect with. Our work is rooted in two major areas - mitigating the impact of climate change and helping people build careers and businesses that make them happy. We asked illustrator and artist Kelley Willis from Brain Flower Designs to illustrate the infinite possibilities of this future. That's what this image represents.
"How does our work impact people and relationships?" is a question we ask all the time. Whether it's a new course, new legislation, or a new software application. This commitment to positive impact is why we pursued B Corp certification, formalizing our values of putting people and planet alongside profit. Small teams can be mighty if they stay focused on the right things.
Our founders, staff, instructors, developers, affiliates, and customers are all interesting, whole people with varied interests. If you want to explore bringing your unique talent and perspective to this evolving network, we'd love to hear from you.
