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 training courses are open to all U.S. manufacturers and are offered throughout the year for four to eight weeks at a time. These courses teach participants how to identify, implement, and replicate energy-saving projects. Technical expertise gained through the Virtual Trainings helps partners overcome barriers to adopting energy reduction 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.
