After having graduated from the 4 year Industrial Design program at Emily Carr Institute I began an 8 month, labour intensive, job search. I felt as if I did not have a deep enough expertise in any one area that could help me obtain a job. Many jobs mentioned that I would need experience before I could be hired yet there were no employers willing to give me the chance or opportunity to further my learning. My frustration drove me to ponder changing careers, going back to school, or offering to work for free in order to gain experience.

1. Establish efficient modelling procedures to take maximum advantage of Solidworks - design faster and more completely
- a furniture design company was new to Solidworks - we developed and taught the best parametric modelling methods for them to use when developing new products, based on how their company works. We also do this for established companies who need an in-depth review, improvement and standardization of their existing methods.
2. The models, assemblies and drawings can be used for many other needs - integrate Solidworks company-wide

Ubique Inc. is proud to run a highly successful SolidWorks/Engineering Mentoring Program. Please see details here.
