Braxton McCready of Jamestown became the first freshman at WNY P-TECH in Dunkirk to earn his associate’s SOLIDWORKS certificate in CAD Design!
Certification is used as a benchmark to measure knowledge and competency with SOLIDWORKS software. Students can use it to help secure a job by demonstrating a verified level of expertise and commitment to potential employers.
Several students at WNY P-TECH have earned certification at the associate level. In the last two years, three seniors have completed certification at the professional level.
Braxton has already completed the first of three exams needed to earn his professional certification. He plans to finish the remaining exams this fall.
Way to go, Braxton! 🎉👏👍
