Autodesk Commits $250 Million in Software & Services to American Middle & High Schools
Public Company Information:
NASDAQ:ADSK
SAN FRANCISCO & WASHINGTON – (BUSINESS WIRE) – Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSK) has teamed up with President Barack Obama and prominent technology and telecommunications companies to equip American high school students with the skills needed for careers in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM). The company is expanding its Design the Future initiative and will provide $250 million worth of 3D design software, project-based curricula, training, and certification to all middle and high schools across the United States in 2014.
"Our clients have numerous high-paying job openings that remain unfilled due to the shortage of qualified high school and university graduates in the U.S.," said Carl Bass, CEO and president of Autodesk. "In line with our commitment to train and empower the next generation of designers, engineers, architects, and digital artists, we're answering President Obama's call. We're proud to announce today that we'll be making our Design the Future program accessible to every secondary school in the U.S. within the next year."
The Design the Future program offers teachers the resources they need to teach students essential problem-solving skills and prepare them for careers in STEAM fields like engineering and architecture. Initially piloted in California in 2013 and later extended to Texas in 2014, the program enables educators to foster a lifelong passion for STEAM subjects by providing free access to the latest versions of Autodesk’s 3D design software (which includes over 14 key products for architecture, engineering, and entertainment), project-based curricula aligned with Common Core and ISTE standards, along with training and certification opportunities. In just the first half of the program, more than 350 California schools signed up. With today's announcement, Autodesk plans to make its software freely available to educators at over 27,000 U.S. secondary schools. If all schools take advantage of this offer, the overall value of Autodesk's contribution could surpass $250 million.
