Responsibilities of the GTP Instructor Role:

• Help the GTP team deliver two (2), Twenty (20) week long GTP classes per year.  Classes are typically 30-60 students, most of whom are recent college graduates with engineering degrees.  Our classes are designed to prepare our students for careers in the sale and marketing of HVAC systems.

• Teach technical classes in HVAC topics including (but not limited to): HVAC systems and components, building loads, refrigeration, fans, duct design, piping design, business acumen, electricity, psychrometrics, acoustics, energy efficiency, controls, unitary equipment, chilled water equipment, airside equipment, and system applications including sustainability impacts.

• Support the teaching of sales by participating in role plays and similar sales activities.
