Because of the widespread presence of OrCAD within the industry, engineers with this training will have a definite advantage in this difficult job market. Also, employers will recognize the value of applicants having the most up-to-date knowledge in these universal tools. Dwayne Riley, a student in the pilot program, describes this in his job seeking experience, “I make sure to point out in interviews that I took these classes. I think it’s going to be a great card for me in my job search and that’s why I pursued it.”
Classes are offered in select cites, and if students are unable to attend classroom sessions, training is also available virtually. EMA's virtual classroom training is completed over the Internet with a live instructor. The classes currently offered include: OrCAD Capture, OrCAD Capture CIS, Analog Simulation with PSpice, OrCAD PCB Editor (based on Allegro Technology), PSpice Advanced Analysis, and Advanced PCB Editor.
