Develop a blueprint for your success

Background



Our research shows that more than 60% of Cadence customers send engineers for training when they are preparing to start a new design project. Typically, these companies had recently:
purchased new Cadence technology
hired new employees
assigned additional design tasks to existing team members

However, the research also found that more than 25% of the engineers worked on projects immediately after the training that did not afford them a chance to employ the tools they used during training. Clearly, companies need assistance planning training programs so that training is scheduled more closely to the time design teams will actually use the technology.

The blueprint approach



Cadence has developed a competency management process that assesses your team's current design skills. By mapping these results to the skills required for your new design start, it allows you to create a blueprint-like training plan of the additional skills your team requires, including when they should receive additional training.

Benefits of creating a training blueprint



By working with your team to understand your design objectives and delivery schedules, Cadence can deliver the training your team needs, when and where it's most effective. Training delivered to you according to a carefully engineered training blueprint provides a number of benefits:
Provides training focused on achieving the specific objectives of your design project
Equips your design team with skills that allows them to be more efficient and productive
Maximizes the return on your investments in Cadence technology
Efficiently manages your time and resources
Improves profitability while speeding time-to-market
