CA1328B - Onshape's Education Program: Changing the Workforce of the Future

Not so long ago, Onshape was in a limited number of classrooms of educators. Today, Onshape is changing the way teachers teach and students learn design on every continent except Antarctica. Students of all ages are embracing the new generation of agile product development that Onshape enables. Whether designing robots or rockets, the next-generation workforce is choosing Onshape to bring their ideas to life.

In this presentation, we will provide an overview of the Onshape Education program, highlight specific case studies and resources, and discuss the implications for employers and how they can get involved in supporting the development of this future workforce.
