Virtual Trainings

What Are Virtual Trainings?

Virtual Trainings workshops are the online version of In-Plant Trainings (INPLTs) performed by industrial experts and Technical Account Managers (TAMs). The trainings are open to all US manufacturers and is offered throughout the year for 4 to 8 weeks at a time and teaches participants how to identify, implement, and replicate energy-saving projects. Technical expertise gained through the Virtual Trainings helps partners overcome barriers to adopting energy-efficient and low-emissions best practices and technologies. To maximize the benefits of Virtual Trainings, partners receive homework during each session, and are expected to create a summary presentation to share with DOE at the end of the training.

Who Can Participate?

Participation in Virtual Trainings is open to all US manufacturers including manufacturing plants, supply chains, utilities, and other external stakeholders and is offered at no charge. 

How do I Benefit?

Participants will learn technology fundamentals, receive training on tools, and take away lessons to identify energy-saving opportunities and implement best practices at their facilities. The trainings ensure attendees are familiar with working principles, and best practices, and have the capability to analyze the energy performance of industrial energy systems. The homework assignments are also designed to enhance participants' understanding of the topics covered.
