FOR SCHOOLS & DISTRICTS

More trades, more students, same budget.

Demand for skilled trades is growing as AI reshapes office work. HappyTeachers helps CTE programs meet it with the equipment they already have instead of waiting on a lab rebuild.

Request a pilot

Launch or expand a trade without a capital budget

Start a program with the equipment you already own or can get donated. Curriculum is generated around it, not bought.

Every trade on one platform

HVAC, electrical, plumbing, welding, automotive, construction, manufacturing and robotics share the same workflow, so there's one tool to support.

Safety and standards on every lab

Each lesson carries a safety checklist and tags for credentials like OSHA-10, EPA 608, NCCER, NEC, AWS and ASE. Teachers review before teaching.

Reporting from what's actually taught

Teachers log sessions in one click. Program summaries, Perkins-style narratives and family updates come from real logged data.

Situations it's built for

A program inherited a shop full of donated equipment

Each item gets AI teaching notes and lessons. The "idle equipment" view shows what isn't being used yet.

A new or long-term-sub teacher with no curriculum

Ready-to-print lessons with safety checklists and rubrics from day one, matched to the shop they walked into.

Families question whether trades are a real path

Lessons link to jobs, typical pay and credentials. Parent updates explain it in plain language.

You need to ask for equipment or funding

Wishlists rank cheap items by lessons unlocked, and donation letters and admin reports are written for you.

How a pilot works

  1. 1. Inventory day

    Teachers photograph their shop. Everything gets AI safety and teaching notes.

  2. 2. Teach for a term

    Generate, print and log lessons. Students earn XP on job tickets.

  3. 3. Review together

    Program summary, idle-equipment report and a ranked list of next equipment asks.
