Group,

     I've been a part of something called Amvets Career Centers of Ohio for several years now. We are a 501c3 non profit that assists honorably discharged veterans by making them more employable through a variety of things. On- line education, resume assistance, job search skills to name a few.

    While at Solidworks World, I approached Solidworks with a plan to use the Career Centers and CSWP volunteers to train unemployed or under employed veterans up to CSWA level. Solidworks liked the plan and shipped me 12 Student Editions with testing coupons. This is more than I can use locally so I then presented the plan to the Career Center Supervisors at the State conference last weekend.

    End result is that there is a need for a volunteer CSWP in the Akron OH area and possibily one in the Ashland Oh area.  So if anyone is interested, let me know ASAP and I will go into more detail.

There may be a need ( I hope) in other parts of Ohio in the future. If you are interested, contact me at alpristera@alpristera.com and I'll put your name on file for future reference.

Thanks
