Bentley's 'Be Employable' Initiative Offers Free Training
 EXTON,
PA, Feb 24, 2009 – Bentley Systems, Incorporated, the leading company
dedicated to providing comprehensive software solutions for the
infrastructure that sustains our world, today launched its Be Employable
initiative to help in sustaining the infrastructure professions. Be
Employable is an innovative addition to Bentley’s Be Careers Network
designed to help outplaced architectural, engineering, construction, and
geospatial professionals update and upgrade their technology skill sets,
giving them a significant competitive edge in today’s challenging job
market. It provides free access to Bentley’s comprehensive software
portfolio and training as well as the ability to earn learning units from
the Bentley Institute, Bentley’s training organization. A learning unit is
earned for each hour of self-paced or instructor-led learning content
completed. By taking advantage of these offerings, Be Employable
participants will be better positioned as top candidates for employment
opportunities across a broad spectrum of projects. Moreover, once back in
the workforce, they will be able to deliver greater value to their new
employers.
The enhanced Be Careers Network Resume Center, which can be found on the
Be Communities networking site (http://communities.bentley.com)
, connects recent graduates entering the infrastructure disciplines and
students seeking internships with hiring managers. Outplaced infrastructure
professionals who have improved their skills using the Be Employable
initiative can also use the Resume Center to connect with these same
organizations.
The new Be Employable initiative makes the following tools available to
any outplaced infrastructure professional throughout 2009:
- Access to Bentley’s V8i software portfolio for noncommercial use,
- Instructor-led online distance learning to eliminate the travel time
and cost of traditional training,
- OnDemand eLearning for self-paced learning,
- Comprehensive learning transcripts to help maintain professional
accreditation.
Malcolm Walter, COO, Bentley Systems, said, “Worldwide, the
infrastructure community is facing the relentless pressures of a difficult
economy, and downsizing of design and engineering organizations has become
widespread. Bentley’s mission of ‘sustaining infrastructure’ encompasses the
need to ‘sustain the professions’ that design, build, and operate our
infrastructure, and the Be Employable program is designed to do just that.”
Walter continued, “We conceived our Be Employable initiative to help
transitioning infrastructure professionals overcome these challenges by
giving them the opportunity to advance their software know-how for advantage
in the job market. To extend its reach, we will encourage downsizing user
organizations to make outgoing colleagues aware of the Be Employable
opportunity. In addition, we will promote its availability to professional
architectural, engineering, construction, and geospatial associations so
they can extend Be Employable to members seeking new positions. Ultimately,
our goal is to help enable as many infrastructure professionals as possible
to resume rewarding careers as easily and quickly as possible.”

Bentley’s Be Careers Network Resume Center provides one-stop recruiting
for AEC organizations searching for highly skilled recent graduates,
students, and outplaced professionals looking for their next success.
Charlie McGowan, structural designer’s lead, Mississauga hub, Hatch
Associates, said, “The Be Careers Network Resume Center gives infrastructure
organizations access to a veritable treasure trove of talented candidates.”
Participants post their skills, background, and career objectives at no
charge on the Resume Center using a specially designed web form. Hiring
managers at infrastructure organizations in the solution communities served
by Bentley (including roads, bridges, rail and transit, campuses, factories,
buildings, power generation, mining and metals, oil and gas, water and
wastewater, electric and gas utilities, communications, and cadastre and
land development) can search through this information free of charge. Their
searches can be by targeted categories to help them quickly zero in on
talent with the right technology training and experience for their current
project needs.
