RAND Worldwide, a global leader in providing technology solutions to organizations with engineering design and information technology requirements, announced that its IMAGINiT Technologies division will participate in the Autodesk Assistance Program for displaced workers, providing education, support and tools to its clients.

Today’s economic challenges have impacted IMAGINiT clients significantly and the Autodesk Assistance Program will help people to enhance, maintain and improve their 3D design technology skills to remain competitive in the marketplace.

IMAGINiT will be offering a variety of services and education programs to its design and engineering customers including online training on select courses.

“We are pleased to support Autodesk in their efforts to empower people currently affected by today’s challenging economic climate,” states Bob Heeg, executive vice president of IMAGINiT worldwide operations. “We are offering a unique experience by providing our most popular training courses online. Unlike other web training offerings, which may only offer a snap-shot of curriculum, IMAGINiT is offering a more complete training experience. Our hope is to provide displaced workers a more comprehensive skill set, giving them an edge in this competitive job market.”

Qualified participants will receive, free of charge:

  • All the content of a full training course delivered live online.
  • The ability to ask questions and interact with the instructor during the course live and in real time.
  • Copies of the course material and/or full courseware for each class.
