Turn your field experience into a classroom career.
Years of hands-on industrial experience are exactly what the next generation of safety-trained workers needs to learn from ‚ and you don't need a teaching background to share it. You just need the desire to coach and pass on what you know.
We're now accepting applications for our Train the Trainer program, which prepares experienced professionals to lead industrial safety courses including Confined Space, Fire Watch, Fall Protection, and more.
Irwin's Safety is hosting a Train the Trainer to develop Industrial Safety Instructors in Kelowna July 13-17, 2026. Completion of this program creates flexible instructor opportunities working with Irwin's Safety.
This opportunity is ideal for:
- Tradespeople and field professionals ready for a career path that keeps them connected to industry without the physical demands of being on site.
- Educators with a teaching background who want to apply their skills in a high-impact industrial safety setting.
- Retirees or experienced professionals looking to supplement their income while sharing their knowledge and supporting workplace safety training.
