Job description
Part-Time Architectural Drafting Career Coach
(Flexible, Paid Workshops + Upside)
About CourseCareers
CourseCareers is an online education platform that helps people launch new careers without a college degree or prior experience.
We partner with industry professionals to create job-focused courses that teach practical, employer-aligned skills across technology, business, and the skilled trades. Our students are career changers looking for realistic, entry-level roles — and coaching helps bridge the gap between coursework and landing the job.
About the Role
We’re looking for a part-time Architectural Drafting Career Coach to support students through live workshops and optional 1:1 coaching.
This is not a traditional employment role and not a guaranteed-income position. It’s a flexible, paid opportunity best suited for drafting professionals who enjoy mentoring, teaching, and helping others break into the field — with upside if students choose to work with you.
How This Role Actually Works
You host a live, one-hour workshop (seminar-style) for students
You are paid $50 per workshop, plus any private coaching business you acquire
You may receive exclusive coaching opportunities based on performance and engagement
Workshops are used to provide value, answer questions, and showcase your expertise
If students choose to book you for 1:1 coaching, you keep the coaching revenue
You set your own availability and working hours
There is no requirement to convert students — workshops are paid regardless — but conversion is where the upside comes from.
Responsibilities
Host a live, one-hour workshop on a monthly basis
Answer student questions about architectural drafting careers and the job search
Share real-world insight into what entry-level drafting roles actually look like
Discuss tools, workflows, and expectations in real drafting environments
Provide optional 1:1 coaching to students who request it
What We’re Looking For
3+ years of professional drafting experience (architectural, construction, or design firms)
Strong working knowledge of tools such as AutoCAD, Revit, or similar drafting software
Understanding of entry-level roles like Architectural Drafter, CAD Technician, or Junior Designer
Interest in mentoring and helping career changers
Strong communication and teaching ability
Availability at least three evenings per week, ideally Tuesday–Thursday
Self-starter mindset — comfortable leading workshops independently
Ideal Fit
This role is a great fit if you:
Enjoy teaching and mentoring
Want flexible, side income
Like the idea of being paid to teach — with optional upside
Don’t need guaranteed hours or full-time income
Compensation
$50 per one-hour workshop (One per month guaranteed)
Unlimited upside from 1:1 coaching sessions you convert
No caps, no quotas, no minimums
