- Through SOLIDWORKS SkillForce, Dassault Systèmes will
provide SOLIDWORKS licenses to students participating in internship
or co-op programs, to facilitate hands-on, productive work
experiences
- Access to the latest AI-powered virtual twin technologies
will bridge education and industry, empowering the next generation
of engineers and designers
- SOLIDWORKS SkillForce was unveiled today at Dassault
Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE World event dedicated to the SOLIDWORKS and
3DEXPERIENCE platform user community
Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: FR0014003TT8, DSY.PA) today
announced the launch of SOLIDWORKS SkillForce, its new global
initiative to provide licenses of its SOLIDWORKS applications to
students participating in internships to gain real-world work
experience. Unique in the industry, SOLIDWORKS SkillForce will
benefit students, businesses and industry by empowering the
workforce of the future with the design, engineering and
manufacturing skills needed to innovate in the generative
economy.
Through SOLIDWORKS SkillForce, Dassault Systèmes will provide
SOLIDWORKS licenses to students who have earned their Certified
SOLIDWORKS Associate (CSWA) certification and are participating in
a 3–6-month internship or co-op program. This ensures that students
have access to the applications for the duration of their
work-based learning experiences, allowing them to apply their
verified skills directly in professional environments. By providing
software licenses directly to student interns, the initiative
supports the companies hosting them by removing barriers to
software access and fostering a more efficient and productive
internship experience.
As technologies reshape the way the world works and jobs
continue to transform, students can train for and achieve their
CSWA certification, bring their own SOLIDWORKS license into their
internships, and build industry experience that enhances their
career prospects. Businesses can benefit from interns who have this
certification and access, and bring a higher skill level and
greater productivity.
The initiative also aims to reduce the engineering talent gap by
ensuring that students gain hands-on experience with the AI-powered
virtual twin technologies used by millions across industry, while
encouraging others to pursue CSWA certification as a professional
credential.
“We are committed to nurturing the workforce of the future by
equipping our student community with the skills they need to build
a strong career path and succeed professionally,” said Gian Paolo
Bassi, Senior Vice President, Customer Role Experience, Dassault
Systèmes. “SOLIDWORKS SkillForce bridges the gap between education
and industry by ensuring that student interns and co-op
participants can use SOLIDWORKS applications on real projects, in
real companies, and make real impact.”
Dassault Systèmes announced SOLIDWORKS SkillForce today at
3DEXPERIENCE World, its annual event for the SOLIDWORKS and
3DEXPERIENCE platform user communities. Students attending the
event can connect with industry leaders in design, engineering and
manufacturing, and visit the 3DEXPERIENCE Edu zone in the
3DEXPERIENCE playground to discover applications, demos and career
advice.
The SOLIDWORKS SkillForce initiative will officially launch on
April 15.
