Free Training for Veterans of the US Armed Forces on Computer-aided Design (CAD), Computer-aided Manufacturing (CAM) and PLM Software

The Siemens PLM USA Veterans Initiative Program is a regional productivity program targeted at veterans of the US Armed Forces to develop their skills in STEM-related careers (science, technology, engineering and mathematics).

Siemens PLM Software will provide scholarships to cover the cost of instructor-led training classes executed at our Siemens PLM Software Universities. There are 4 CAD courses, 3 CAM courses and 4 Teamcenter PLM courses to choose from; the courses range from 2 to 5 days.

Purpose of the Veterans Program

Siemens PLM Software is a leading provider of technologies to industry, and we recognize the current shortage of skilled workers. Veterans make great employees because they already possess a discipline and high work ethic. By providing training on our technologies, we can give veterans additional skills that might make them employable with Siemens or Siemens’ clients.

Employment at Siemens PLM Software

Siemens does not guarantee employment to anyone. All veterans are encouraged to apply to positions with Siemens for which they are qualified. Training on the software will give you additional skills which might make you more marketable for employment at Siemens or with Siemens’ 70,000 clients who use our CAD/CAM software technology.
