Workers
The Engineering Stimulus Package introduced in Australia today by Solidtec Solutions and
DS SolidWorks is designed for displaced engineers and designers seeking to develop,
upgrade, or refresh their valuable 3D computer-aided design (CAD) skills.
Solidtec are partnering with DS SolidWorks to supply free SolidWorks® 3D CAD software
licenses, training videos and tutorials, networking, certification, and potential job leads to any
job seeker. Solidtec are enhancing the program by also partnering with SolidProfessor to
supply exclusive online content free to participants in the program.
Free SolidWorks 3D CAD Software, Training, and Certification will Build Valuable New Skills.
The Package includes:
Software
Classroom Training
Online Training
Networking
Certification
At the end of the 90-day software trial period, you can also get certified by taking the free
Certified SolidWorks Associate (CSWA) exam. The well-recognized CSWA certification
documents your SolidWorks skills for prospective employers, giving you a competitive edge.
Solidtec Solutions Managing Director, Darren Beale says, “The Engineering Stimulus
Program will provide an opportunity for Australian engineers, designers and drafts people to
either re-skill or up-skill to make themselves more attractive to potential employers. The
financial climate is not as bad in Australia compared to many places in the global economy
but we expect there will be a significant number of people who will benefit from this program
which builds 3D CAD skills”, said Beale.
In order to ensure participants are able to gain the maximum value from the program
Solidtec are offering free one day training courses which introduce 3D CAD concepts and
then extend the participants knowledge into the area of FEA, or SolidWorks Simulation. The
Engineering Stimulus Package enables engineers to become proficient with the world’s most
widely-used 3D CAD software for design and mechanical engineering and join the Australian
SolidWorks community as well as making themselves more competitive in the job market.
The Engineering Stimulus Package is available now; full details are available at
