The WordPress training team creates downloadable lesson plans and related materials for instructors to use in live environments. If you enjoy teaching people how to use and build stuff for WordPress, immediately stop what you’re doing and join our team!
Regardless of your skill set, you can help! We need people to write, copyedit, test, audit, connect, and review our lesson plans. Find out how to get started.
THANK YOU for wanting to help the WordPress Training Team during this Contributor Day!
We hope you take an interest in the team’s work and continue to bring your skills and passion to the team by joining us in our Slack channel and attending the weekly meetings.
