The quotes below are about this issue:
Some employers say that if students are exposed to CAD and 3D modeling software, such as Solidworks or ProE, then the employer can provide additional training in specific programs that their organization uses. Other employers find that students do not have necessary training in AutoCad and computer science.

The 3D stuff is becoming very prevalent in our industry, and they may not have the specific software, but the candidates we're seeing coming in now have been exposed to some type of software. They may not know SolidWorks CAD software, but they know Pro/E. It's pretty transferable." | Metro |
