About UHP

UHP — Unlock Human Potential is building a new category of education centered around whole-human experiential vocational training, leadership development, and purpose-driven transformation. UHP serves veterans, transitioning service members, and purpose-driven individuals through immersive programs that integrate human performance, leadership, wellness, vocational skills, and personal growth.

Our environment is fast-moving, mission-driven, and deeply experiential. We are not a traditional university, gym, military program, or trade school — we are building a scalable human development institution designed for the future workforce.

This is not a traditional classroom-only instructor role.

UHP is seeking a full-time Electrical Instructor to help deliver an immersive, hands-on electrical training program for veterans through the Ignite Skilled Trades Institute.
