Dear Colleague,
Yesterday I sent out this email to all Designers
Council members. I thought some DesignerCouncil email forum subscribers may
qualify to take advantage of this opportunity as well. Below are some details
about how you may obtain free training if you are a displaced designer. Details can be found below in a news
release provided by Mentor Graphics
(http://www.mentor.com).

Mentor
Graphics Offers Free Training to Displaced Engineers
WILSONVILLE, Ore., Aug. 19, 2002 - Mentor Graphics Corporation
(Nasdaq:
MENT) today announced that it will provide Electronic Design
Automation
(EDA) training to recently displaced electronic design
professionals at no
charge. Through the new Displaced Worker Program, the
company will offer
free course placements to unemployed engineering staff, on
a 'space
available' basis, in its public enrollment training classes. The
program
enables engineers to enhance technical skills and gain experience in
the use
of leading-edge technologies for programmable logic design, printed
circuit
board (PCB) design and integrated circuit design and
verification.
The courses will first be offered to qualified candidates in all
North
American Mentor Graphics training locations, including Austin,
Boston,
Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Minneapolis, Portland and San Jose. A
complete list
of course descriptions, schedules and training locations is
available at
http://www.mentor.com/es.
Qualifying candidates for the Displaced Worker Program must meet terms
and
conditions for attendance. As a guideline, students should have a
bachelor's
or master's degree in electronic engineering or comparable
design
experience. Specific courses may have additional
prerequisites. Most
courses are available year-round and have a limited
number of seats. If no
seats are available due to customer enrollment,
program candidates will be
placed on a waiting list for the next class.
