Yup, you read it right. Free Essentials training. Of course there are strings involved. In this case, you need to be a Washington state resident. More specifically, an out-of-work Washington state resident.
Tom Welch, account manager at Next Level Engineering Services, a SolidWorks VAR, wanted to do what he could to help out, ala Fisher/Unitech. Where Next Level is a newer VAR, something along the scale of No Engineer Left Behind wasn’t a possibility, so Tom contacted the state to see what could be done. Through his diligence, Next Level is an approved training center by the state of Washington. What does this mean to you? The state will pay for your Essentials training.
Here’s what you need to do. Go to www.careerbridge.wa.gov and type in SolidWorks in the ‘keyword’ box under ‘Quick Training search’. Next Level will be the only provider that pops up. Between the Essentials training, as well as the SolidWorks Stimulus Package, you’ll be well on your way to earning your CSWA and improving your resume.
