Mentor Graphics Expands Displaced Worker Program to Include Online Training Courses

Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced the expansion of its Displaced Worker Program to now include online training courses. Developed in 2002, the Displaced Worker Program offers free training on a �space available� basis to displaced electronics designers and engineers. With the inclusion of online courses, this beneficial program can now include engineers who are not physically located near a Mentor Graphics training center.

�It�s unfortunate that so many people in the electronic design community are looking for work,� stated Tom Floodeen, vice president and general manager of Customer Support at Mentor Graphics. �Offering complimentary access to our online community and training offerings is something we can do to give back to those who use EDA tools. Our online, instructor-led training is particularly helpful for displaced workers because the travel barriers are removed.�

Actual classroom instruction takes place at Mentor Graphics training centers at locations such as Austin, Boston (Marlborough), Chicago, Minneapolis, Dallas, Denver (Longmont), Portland and San Jose. A primary benefit of online courses is to enable students to interact with an expert instructor�from remote locations. Courses are open to pre-qualified engineers and designers who meet certain requirements, including at least a Bachelor�s degree in Electrical Engineering or relevant experience.

Another feature of the program is the option to include a displaced worker�s name on a list made available to employers with open positions, providing another source of exposure for the job seeker. Plus, being part of the Mentor communities is also a great way to learn, share and network with other designers and engineers. With the addition of more online courses beginning in March, Mentor is now offering resources to a larger base of the electronics engineering design community.
