Contests and Sponsorships
Employers are looking to hire designers with SolidWorks® skills. They also want engineers who can think creatively, collaborate easily, solve problems fast, and respond quickly to changes.
By competing in design contests, you not only can sharpen these skills, but also prepare for a competitive workplace. DS SolidWorks Corp. can help your team with sponsorship and give you access to an array of resources, including parts, design tools, and more.
