Dassault Systèmes (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA) today
unveiled 3DEXPERIENCE Edu, its
new ambition to help students and professionals thrive in the workplace with
in-demand industry skills for sustainable innovation. With 3DEXPERIENCE Edu,
Dassault Systèmes will drive its key role in building the workforce of the
future by opening up new possibilities on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform for
lifelong learning and for connecting academic institutions with industry to
foster employability.
3DEXPERIENCE Edu will
deliver skills-related publications, establish global partnerships and
educational centers, and engage students in sustainability challenges and
competitions, as well as offer a new portfolio of learning experiences and
certifications for professionals on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. These
programs and resources aim to foster collective intelligence on key emerging
roles and skills, redefine the way academic institutions and businesses
collaborate to accelerate the adoption of new methods in industry, and
transform education through experience-based learning.
While studies have already
revealed a disconnect between the skills needed to fill today’s job vacancies
and academic curricula, the COVID-19 pandemic revealed needs for reskilling,
upskilling and training to help companies and academic institutions accelerate
their transformation. Hybrid learning is becoming the new norm in education.
Whether online or in class, learning is about people engagement.
Experience-based learning is the solution for learners to actively grow their
skills by creating projects and collaborating actively with their peers,
experts and mentors.
3DEXPERIENCE Edu builds upon Dassault Systèmes’
decades of experience in 11 industries, to support five million students of all
ages every year as well as academic institutions, companies, and professionals
seeking to improve their knowledge, expertise or employability. This
includes providing educational packages to organizations worldwide during
COVID-19 lockdowns, and partnerships with Re-Engineering Australia Foundation,
Arts et Métiers ParisTech, Illinois Institute of Technology on life
sciences, and the World Economic Forum on advanced manufacturing skills.
