AUBURN HILLS – Dassault Systemes and Oakland University announced Thursday a partnership in the university’s four-week post graduate program, called PLM Workforce Development Short Course ,aimed primarily at displaced engineers.
The intensive four-week course offered by the School of Engineering and Computer Science integrates business and engineering expertise. Students will be fully immersed in PLM, which relies upon collaborative mechanical design, analysis, and manufacturing software to support products from creation through end of life.
The course is offered on a full-time basis. Prospective students who are unemployed may be eligible to receive tuition assistance through the “Michigan Works!” retraining initiative. The program also is open to working professionals who are able to undertake a full-time professional development regimen.
“We are excited that we can be part of such a timely program, which can provide the technical skills needed for employing workers in this area,” said Roy Smolky, DELMIA Worldwide Academic Relations, Dassault Systemes. “This is just our first step in developing unique approaches to education for area workforce needs.”
In addition to classroom work on the campus of Oakland University, participants will be trained to use several DS DELMIA digital manufacturing and production tools at the DS Auburn Hills training facility located just one mile from the OU campus. Upon successful completion of the certificate program, students will be fully prepared to take an independently administered DELMIA proficiency certification exam.
The PLM Workforce Development Short Course will take place weekdays from September 28 to October 23, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. For more information on the program, call Bhushan Bhatt, Associate Dean at 1.(248)370-2233 or email [email protected]
