Introducing the SOLIDWORKS SkillForce Program: Bridging Students and Industry Through Real-World Experience

For Students: Take Your SOLIDWORKS Skills Beyond the Classroom
If you’re a student with SOLIDWORKS experience, this is your chance to step into a professional environment and apply what you’ve learned in school to real industry projects.

With SkillForce, you’ll get:

• Access to paid internship opportunities with SOLIDWORKS-using companies
• A chance to work on real design, prototyping, or simulation tasks
• Valuable resume-building experience and mentorship from industry professionals
• Continued access to MySolidWorks training resources and certifications

CAD Micro/GoEngineer Tip: We work directly with educators and students to ensure you’re ready to hit the ground running – from certification prep to portfolio reviews.

For Businesses: Get Support from SOLIDWORKS-Ready Interns
Hiring interns usually involves a learning curve, but not with SkillForce. All participating students are already trained in SOLIDWORKS and ready to contribute.
With SkillForce and our support, your business can:

• Tap into a growing network of SOLIDWORKS-trained student interns
• Accelerate design tasks, documentation, or prototyping support
• Reduce onboardining time and get help faster
• No additional seats required – students are equipped with a free 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS Premium or SOLIDWORKS Premium with Cloud Services license

How We Help: CAD Micro/GoEngineer helps companies connect with qualified students, screen candidates, and guide onboarding to ensure your interns are productive from day one.

How the Program Works

1. Students register and complete their SOLIDWORKS training through academic institutions or MySolidWorks.
2. Businesses express interest in hiring interns through your Account Manager at CAD Micro, now GoEngineer.
3. Interns are matched with relevant opportunities – either remote or on-site – to work on active engineering projects.

We work closely with both parties to ensure smooth communication, expectations, and success from start to finish.
