In order to ensure the success of its graduates, Ashworth College (http://www.ashworthcollege.edu) developed its certified AutoCAD training online course around the skills necessary to working in the design field.

“Men and women trained in AutoCAD are pertinent to a variety of career fields including the construction, architecture, manufacturing, and product development industries,” said Dr. Leslie Gargiulo, Ashworth College’s Chief Academic Officer. “The career opportunities for an AutoCAD drafter that has both an accredited career diploma and a certification from a renowned program like Autodesk, should offer many positive benefits for our graduates.”

Dr. Gargiulo went on to cite U.S. Department of Labor statistics that projects considerable employment opportunities for those trained in AutoCAD. “The number of jobs for AutoCAD drafters is expected to increase by 11,400 career openings by 2020 meaning there will be an estimated 216,500 opportunities for drafters.
