SOLIDWORKS HR Services
Unique assistance for Human Resources
We can work directly with your Human Resources department to help your business assess new hires, provide new employees with SOLIDWORKS on-boarding; and advance the careers of your existing employees with certification.

Helping you hire the right people
Investing in new employees is always a risk; especially when their SOLIDWORKS skills are proven only after working with you for a few months. To ensure you hire the right people we can provide you with a custom skills assessment; that will test the SOLIDWORKS knowledge of potential employees allowing you to find the best candidate.

The Candidate Assessment Process
- We review the job requirements with you.
- Create a custom assessment that is tailored for the job.
- You can then assess the candidate with a combination of written questions and hands-on practical assignments to measure competency.
The Benefits
- Able to test your candidate in real-life working conditions prior to making an offer
- You can determine if a candidate possess the skills you need to carry out the SOLIDWORKS tasks unique to your job requirements.
- Understand what the training investment would be if you hired a specific candidate.
Testimonials
“Our employees see training as a commitment from us to help them execute in their jobs. Three things make up a business: tools, processes, and people. You can’t invest in tools and processes and forget to invest in people. It’s an important part of the triangle.”
— Dr. Fred Cotaras, Chief Technology Director for Maritime Systems, Ultra Electronics.
“My most recent experience with Javelin was through the Javelin online live training (JOLT). I’ve taken online training before and was somewhat skeptical, but this was different. The ability to talk to the instructor and hear other student’s questions and comments was terrific.”
— Kyle Swain, Mechanical Designer, Vemco.
Onboarding Personnel & Skills Improvement
Javelin can help you get new personnel up to speed quickly and improve the productivity of existing personnel with unique SOLIDWORKS training and assessment services:
Improve your onboarding process
Bringing new employees up to speed quickly with SOLIDWORKS while ensuring that your best practices are communicated effectively is a challenge for every business. Which is why we design custom onboarding programs for HR departments; which are tailored to the way your business works with SOLIDWORKS software.
Having effective onboarding training for your new employees will reduce the need for support from other team members; while helping to increase the adoption rate of company standards.
Improving existing processes
A Javelin assessor will investigate how your business currently uses SOLIDWORKS software and assess your team’s skills to determine where productivity can be dramatically increased. Following the assessment are one-on-one sessions with individual team members to update their techniques and provide targeted training identified from the assessment.
After training has been completed we meet with management to report our findings and results obtained from the one-on-one sessions. You will also receive a comprehensive report which contains recommendations to improve your business productivity; and suggestions for further education to develop your individual team members.

Government Funding & Grants
Another unique benefit of working with Javelin is our experience in helping customers obtain government funding and grants to pay for the development of your employees. We will assist you through the funding process, helping you to find the right program and complete the application.
There are many different Government funding programs available for skills and technology improvement; we can ensure that you don’t lose out on any funding opportunities.
