How can I gain the skills and mentorship needed to start an AutoCAD/SolidWorks training institute in my home country (Africa) Cameroon?
Dear CareerVillage community, I want to start a training center that teaches AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and other 2D/3D CAD design software because there is a growing need for these skills in my home country My challenge is that I currently lack advanced CAD skills, and I also don’t have a mentor who can guide me in learning these programs or in setting up the training institute professionally. My questions are: 1. What is the best way for someone in my situation to gain strong skills in AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and other CAD tools from scratch? 2. Are there affordable or free training resources that can help me reach an instructor-level proficiency? 3. How can I find a mentor or an experienced CAD professional (maybe here on CareerVillage) who can guide me on both the technical and business steps to launch this training institute? 4. What practical steps should I take to make this vision realistic in Cameroon? Any advice, learning path, or mentorship would mean a lot. Thank you!
Which 3D modeling careers involve Autodesk Inventor, Fusion 360, or Solidworks How do I go about looking for these jobs?
I love modeling, and have been on this career path since high school. But searching for jobs like this always brings up CAD, and that's not something I care about unfortunately. I also do not know how to use sheet metal, or make electrical plans. None of this was ever taught to me. So now I feel completely lost searching for jobs that fall within my skillset (Modeling, and making technical drawings from existing blueprints) If it helps, I recently earned my CSC (Career Studies Certificate) in computer aided drafting and design, and was hoping that would be enough to find a job.
