Stop in for a cup of coffee

Most of the job postings that I see for drafting/designer are looking for Solidworks software... My local Comm College doesn't offer that here, so I checked out the jr college in Joliet which teaches that software... Last time I looked at their courses the class was taught on mid weekdays at night while I'm at work...

I found yesterday that they have a class on Fri nights this coming semester, which fits my work schedule and there was one opening left... They gave me the email for the counselor that I needed to sign off for me to get the class and I mailed him yesterday and he signed off for me and I got the last opening for the class...

Now I have to go to my local comm college here Monday to see if they can give me a co-op waiver since they don't offer that class and I can get a break on the tuition at the other college, roughly 1/3rd of the out of district tuition... Then I will be locked into the class for sure on Monday... :D
congrats!


I’m a CAD Designer. I’ve climbed that ladder quickly. Started out as a CAD tech in 2015. Most CAD designers are a 8-10 year level.

FYI: you don’t need a class or a Cert. I self taught myself Solidworks, Creo, Autocad and Solidedge as well as Inventor. Took me about 2 years to learn all those, but you can learn each in about 2-3 months proficient enough to pass the modeling tests most business require you too during the hiring process. With you going to school for it, you’ll have no problem at all.

let me know if I can help you any. If I can learn it, anyone can. Oh, and FYI, Drafters are in extremely high demand.

If you get stuck, shoot me a text and we’ll sit down a time to go over it if needed.
