Autodesk is expanding its assistance program, designed to help displaced workers in the architecture, engineering, design and manufacturing industries keep up their skills and improve their chances of finding a new job.
The expansion boosts the number of software applications available under the program from four to 17, includes a discount for companies that hire program participants and offers a new license for AutoCAD software and enhancements to learning materials.
The program has more than 4,600 participants and has covered more than 5,000 product downloads to date.
“We continue to receive overwhelmingly positive feedback from both customers and partners participating in the Autodesk Assistance Program, which further validates that this program is helping customers improve their productivity and competitiveness during this challenging and volatile time,” said Steve Blum, senior vice president of Americas sales at Autodesk. “The enhancements we’ve made to the program are a natural extension that will now also benefit employers, and further benefit our customers and partners.”
More information on the program is available by email at assistance@autodesk.com or online at www.autodesk.com/assistanceprogram.
