Workforce One is a program through the Ohio Department of
Job and Family Services which links job seekers and employers by providing
unique training opportunities in the engineering and design sector through the
Workforce Investment Act. These programs teach high-level skills to prepare the
unemployed workforce for specialized careers in technology. Ally PLM Solutions
has partnered with Workforce One and Ohio WIA One Stop Centers to provide several options registered applicants can take advantage of at no cost to the applicant.
Ally PLM Solutions offers two programs through Workforce
One:
Both courses will teach students basic CAD drafting and
design; a vital skill for engineers, manufacturers, and other design technology
technicians. Major companies use Solid Edge and NX CAD software in their
everyday functions in the automotive, aerospace and defense, medical devices,
electronics, and many other industries. Competency in either of these programs
is a specialized skill and a very attractive attribute to employers in the
fastest growing job sectors.
There are a few simple steps to take to enroll in this
program:
Step 1: Attend
an orientation at your county’s Workforce Investment Act Ohio One Stop Center.

here to find your county’s location. Orientations are every Wednesday at
2:30 PM. Attendees don’t need to bring anything to this meeting. The purpose is
to educate about WIA’s services and how they can be effectively utilized. This
is where applications for WIA’s services can be obtained.
Step 2: Complete and submit your application to
your county’s WIA One Stop Center. Usually your application will be
processed within a few hours of submission, so the sooner you submit, the
sooner you can realize the benefits of WIA’s services; including
free training from Ally PLM Solutions.
Step 3: Choose
Solid Edge or NX training from Ally PLM Solutions. You will work with a
representative from the WIA One Stop Center who will help you enroll in either
Solid Edge or NX training at no cost to you.
Step 4: Contact
the WIA One Stop Center to give employment updates. Following your free
training, your WIA One Stop Center will request that you contact them once a
quarter for one year to update them on your employment status. In these brief
conversations a WIA representative will offer further assistance in helping you
achieve your career goals.
Receiving the benefits of the WIA and Workforce One is
extremely easy and renders huge benefits. Solid Edge and NX training courses
are only 5 days long and can be taken at Ally PLM’s corporate office in Cincinnati, Ohio, or even
online. Students will be led by an engineer with extensive industry experience
and will learn all the capabilities and an overall concrete understanding of Solid Edge or NX software.
The skills you will gain from Ally PLM Solutions are highly
specialized and are sought out by employers every single day. Individuals who
