For everyday I know that career and technical teachers are faced with tough challenges.&#0160; Guy <span><span>Gangemi<\/span><\/span>, technical teacher from Greater Lowell Technical High School in <span><span>Tyngsboro<\/span>, MA has transformed his program in a difficult economy.&#0160; <\/span><\/p>\n<p>First, Guy became a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solidworks.com\/sw\/support\/796_ENU_HTML.htm?pid=446\" target=\"_self\" title=\"CSWA SolidWorks Certification Exam\">Certified <span><span>SolidWorks<\/span><\/span> Associate<\/a> (<span><span>CSWA<\/span><\/span>).&#0160; Then he applied to become a Certified <span><span>SolidWorks<\/span><\/span> Exam provider.&#0160; Four of his students achieved <span><span>CSWA<\/span><\/span> certification.&#0160; Now, through the Great Lowell Tech High School evening program, Guy also helps out the adult learner by offering <span><span>SolidWorks<\/span><\/span> based classes after work.<\/p>\n<p>Career and Technical teachers around the world send me great stories.&#0160; Last week, technology teacher Jay from Pennsylvania told me one of his students took and passed the <span><span>CSWA<\/span><\/span> exam.&#0160; Jay <span>wasn&#39;t<\/span> giving the exam this semester.&#0160; So why did the student want to take an exam when not required?&#0160; Well Jay&#39;s student is applying to top engineering schools in the US.&#0160; They are all very competitive and the student figured studying and preparing for <span><span>CSWA<\/span><\/span> certification would help in an engineering school not only for the application process but also because they all use <span><span>SolidWorks<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>For the career and technical teachers that use <span><span>SolidWorks<\/span><\/span> to help your students and provide the certification exam for their future,&#0160;SolidWorks says&#0160;thank you for letting us have&#0160;a great day.&#0160;
