With an eye not only on growing the talent pool for infrastructure designers but also on widening access to industry tools for future professionals, software maker Bentley Systems has launched the Bentley Education Program. The launch is an effort to put its popular design and engineering software into more young hands and encourage the next generation of engineers.
“What we are hearing from our accounts is there is a skills gap,” says Katriona Lord-Levins, Bentley senior vice president and chief success officer. “We hope this will help level the playing field.”
