Today Autodesk formally rolls out the Autodesk Assistance Program which offers "free"
software licenses, free online training, reduced-cost classroom training and discounted
certification programs for unemployed architects, designers and engineers. The program
begins in North America and the company hopes to roll it out in other countries in the
coming months. For more info, visit www.autodesk.com/assistanceprogram. Several CAE
companies have announced similar programs but this is the first and largest program that
I’m aware of among engineering design providers.
