This global skills gap represents a looming crisis across all industries we serve. Customers have been telling us for years that a retiring workforce coupled with a lack of younger workers entering their industries is leaving jobs unfilled. Add to that the emergence of automation increasing the need for workers to develop a new set of skills, there are now more new roles and new jobs than ever before opening up\u00a0without the talent to fill them.<\/p>\n<p>To address this challenge, Autodesk is developing lifelong learning solutions to help workers keep pace by learning new skills and earning professional credentials that will create opportunity. The Future of Work has already arrived, and automation is commonplace across our industries. We\u2019re here to help our customers get the professional skills they need to thrive.<\/p>\n<p>Today we\u2019re launching the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/certification\">Autodesk Certification Program<\/a>, comprising eight new industry-aligned learning pathways and certifications to partner with professionals on their lifelong learning journey, with additional certifications and courses arriving next year. This program is designed to empower emerging and seasoned professionals to build and validate their skills so they can achieve their learning and career goals. We\u2019re offering certifications geared toward both specific products, like the \u201cRevit Structure\u201d certification, and specific workflows and industry roles, like the \u201cFusion 360 Mechanical Design\u201d certification for mechanical engineers and machinists. Our new role-based offerings will continually evolve to support emerging trends and changing industry needs so workers can be confident they\u2019ll always be current.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know technology like AI is driving massive changes in the industries we serve, and those changes are having a huge impact on workers. We saw an 800% increase in traffic to our self-paced learning resources as soon as COVID-19 hit and knew it was the right time to accelerate the advancement of our program. With this new platform we\u2019re taking a new approach to certification\u2014one that integrates self-paced skills attainment into everyday work, connects workers to a broader community, and pushes them forward on a lifelong learning journey.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6529\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6529 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/app\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Tech-Center-San-Francisco-Fusion-360-01_with_mask.jpg\" alt=\"woman working on a tablet \" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6529\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-6529\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The new Autodesk Certification Program was designed to be flexible and self-paced. Users can access the single sign-on platform online at any time that works for their schedule.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><strong>New role-based certifications show greater capability<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Increasingly, we\u2019re seeing that the way our tools are used is determined by the job of the individual. For example, there\u2019s no one job that requires someone to use every single function in a tool. Our new role-based offerings account for these nuances so someone can become certified in a specific role, like mechanical engineer, versus a specific product, like Fusion 360.<\/p>\n<p>Our role-based learning paths and certifications help workers develop, capture, and communicate new competencies and experiences in ways that employers understand and value. To start, our new role-based certifications will be aligned with Fusion 360, with a focus on core workflows in the industry. This includes an emphasis on CAD, CAM, design for manufacture and the industry\u2019s first generative design certification.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Learning pathways prepare workers for both certification exams and careers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>With the Autodesk Certification Program, we\u2019ve created self-paced, modular learning that shows each user\u2019s unique learning pathway, ultimately leading to certification. We realise learning is personal and designed a program to meet a range of skill levels, workflow applications, roles, and career ambitions, so our customers can embark on the learning journey that\u2019s right for them\u2014at their own pace, on their own time. Courses will vary in focus, covering everything from skill building and workflows, to preparation for specific certification exams.<\/p>\n<p>Once learners complete a series of courses or earn a certification, they\u2019ll unlock personal badges that can be incorporated into resumes, portfolios and professional networking sites to demonstrate their achievements to peers and employers.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Training infrastructure for businesses<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Last year we partnered with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www2.deloitte.com\/content\/dam\/Deloitte\/us\/Documents\/monitor-institute\/us-monitor-institute-supporting-worker-success-in-the-age-of-automation.pdf\">Monitor Deloitte<\/a>\u00a0to explore the challenges underpinning the skills gap and how to help workers adapt and succeed in the age of automation. One key insight from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/adsknews.autodesk.com\/views\/four-ways-to-close-the-skills-gap-in-the-age-of-automation\">the research<\/a>\u00a0was that companies must shorten the distance between learning and work, effectively embedding learning into the workplace by enabling workers to study new skills on the job. The challenge is that\u00a0most businesses aren\u2019t large enough to have the infrastructure for training systems.<\/p>\n<p>Autodesk certifications and learning pathways can help companies re-skill their existing professionals through embedded, timely learning. This helps ensure their existing talent base has the skills to do the work to keep their firms thriving. In addition to bolstering existing workforces through re-skilling, industry certifications can help companies make more targeted hiring decisions by looking for candidates who have passed our industry-aligned certification exams.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Re-skilling is critical for economic success<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This coming year, as people continue to work remotely or require increased safety in the physical workspace because of COVID-19, the use of digital tools and automation will continue to accelerate. This means the skillsets required to fill changing and emerging roles will be new for many professionals and job seekers. Re-skilling and up-skilling \u2013 along with the successful digital transformation of organisations \u2013\u00a0 is critical to the success of the global economy. At launch, for each Fusion 360 user who successfully completes one of our new certifications after AU, we will extend a matching donation to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanmade.org\/\">Humanmade<\/a>, an Autodesk Foundation partner organisation. Humanmade\u2019s Next Generation Manufacturing Program is San Francisco\u2019s first advanced manufacturing workforce development training program aimed at training low-income Bay Area residents for the Future of Work.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/redshift.autodesk.com\/workforce-of-the-future\/\"><em>Hear<\/em><\/a><em>\u00a0from Autodesk about upskilling employees to prepare for the workforce of the future<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Automation technology is the key driver to help businesses and society meet the demands of a growing and urbanizing global population.
