Engineer Stimulus Package

solidworks_logo1
At SolidWorks World 2009, Jeff Ray announced the “Engineer Stimulus Plan”. In a nutshell, SolidWorks will be giving out of work engineers a free seat of SolidWorks. They are still working out the final details of how the plan is going to work, but expect it to launch in Q2 2009 in North America. This is quite the undertaking by SolidWorks. I commend their efforts. I wonder, though, how do you see such a stimulus helping you if you’re unemployed?
Along those same lines, Fisher/Unitech, a SolidWorks reseller, have been running a program of their own. Called ‘No Engineer Left Behind’, they are offering free training, a 30-day eval copy of SolidWorks and the potential of placement with one of their numerous customer. If you’re located in the Midwest, go here for more info. If you ask me, Fisher/Unitech definitely puts the Value in Value Added Reseller. It would be great to see more resellers join in (you reading this, Tom?).

About Jeff's Tool Shed

While most of what I write will be about SolidWorks, or partner products, from time to time I've been known to go off on random rants about whatever crosses my mind.

(Duh, this is a review blog) While reviewing said software and hardware, I am in contact with employees of the companies providing products involved and, occasionally, asked for feedback (again, it is a review blog). I am not compensated for any of this. DS SolidWorks Corporation has paid for my travel, accommodations, and some meals for various user group events including SolidWorks World.
