About

Stacks+Joules logo and team.

A pipeline, not a classroom.

Stacks+Joules is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that trains overlooked talent for careers in Building Automation - the technology that runs modern buildings. We don't run classes. We run a pipeline: fourteen weeks of training, onboarding with a partner employer, and a clear path to work alongside the companies that hire our graduates.

How It Works
From training to onboarding to full-time work - three stages, each designed with the employers who hire our graduates.
Foundational training in BAS concepts.
1. Foundational Training
Fourteen weeks of fundamentals - electricity, HVAC, networking, and controls logic - built for people entering the field.
Onboarding with a partner employer.
2. Employer Onboarding
Graduates onboard with a hiring partner, shadowing senior technicians on live systems.

3. Full-Time Employment
A clear path to full-time BAS roles within our employer network.

Not traditional classroom education.

No lectures. No theory disconnected from practice. We train on the same controllers, sensors, and software our graduates will use the day they get hired. By the time you walk onto a job site, you've already done the work.

Meet the team.

Stacks+Joules was founded by educators and technologists who got tired of training programs that don't lead to jobs. Today, every instructor here came through the program first.
