Dassault Systèmes the 3DEXPERIENCE company and global provider of 3D design software, 3D Digital Mock Up and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, has entered into an association with CADD Centre, Asia’s biggest network of franchise-based training centres.
The association will facilitate access to world class skills for the vast talent pool in the country. Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform will be part of the curriculum across 520 CADD centres in India and outside. Annually 4000 learners shall be skilled on CATIA applications.
The CADD Centre provides the widest range of software tools and project management training comprising of Foundation, Diploma, Professional, Master Diploma and Special courses. It also offers Corporate Training for employed professionals, to aid in their becoming technology and business leaders of the future. The association between Dassault Systèmes and CADD Centre will be part of Dassault Systèmes Education Partner Programme (EPP).
“I am very excited about the easy access to world class skills which CADD Centre will be able to make available given its extensive network in India and globally. We understand the criticality of bridging the skills gap in the country and the partnership with CADD Centre will help us address this issue,” said Dr. Chandan Chowdhury, Managing Director India, Dassault Systèmes.
McKinsey’s Global Labour Report suggests that there will be a potential shortage of nearly 45 million medium-skill workers in developing economies or about 15 percent of the demand for such workers. Industrialisation will raise demand for workers with secondary education and vocational training in India and the developing economies of South Asia and Africa. India could have 13 million fewer workers. The association with CADD Centre will address just this challenge more effectively. It will also help in skilling individuals to operate in an experience economy.
Expressing his enthusiasm on CADD Centre’s association with Dassault Systèmes, Mr S. Karaiadiselvan, Managing Director, CADD Centre Training Services said, “Technical Training has been always critical but the focus on this has only increased in the recent past. Dassault Systèmes’ applications are a great way of equipping the talent pool in India to operate effectively in an altered and complex economy”.
