Hello Christine,

Yes, I joined a few days ago, and I wonder how to find out if I've been accepted into the program and when I can begin training.  I'll keep pinging DWP just to make sure my application doesn't fall through the cracks.

This is an excellent forward-thinking strategy on the part of Mentor-Graphics Corporation. What better way to sell their tools than to have an army of trained, grateful and loyal experts in their tools ready for when the economy rebounds (as it always does).

Have a great 4th of July.

Cheers,

Bob P.

Hello Christine,

Oops!  You said: "Below is a list of the courses we offer the most frequently" but I don't see a link to the courses or an attachment.  Can you point me to them?

Thanks,

Bob P.

Thanks, Christine,

The one I want is "SystemVerilog for Verification" preferably on-line live or even archived.  I'm an expert with analog behavioral modeling and now while between jobs it's an excellent time to plant a foot on the digital side of the fence.

What's my next step to enroll?

Cheers,

Bob P.

Hi Christine,

I registered for the program on July 1 and received the following message from community_registration@relay1.mentorg.com

A Community registration request has been submitted on the Mentor Graphics Community web site.

To verify and activate the request, please click on the link below:

https://communities.mentor.com/registration/comreg/verify?actv=com1246500515__Peruzzi_IEEE.org

At the time I responded through the link and all was well.  I didn't hear anything further so I followed up with some friends at Mentor Graphics.  They helped me contact, and then I had an email conversation with Brian Wineland:

From Brian:

Robert,

Thank you for signing up for the Displaced Worker Program. What classes are you interested in taking. You can review the courses on our website here:

From me:

Hello Brian,

Thanks very much for responding.  I think the best course for me to start with would be SystemVerilog for Verification Live Online Training but I’d like your opinion.

From Brian:

Absolutely, we need to get you enrolled in SV first.

Today I tried to revisit my application to see if all is well but I couldn't find it. Not surprisingly, the link above no longer works. But I did fill in my profile for the community.

Maybe all is indeed well and all I need to do is wait to be contacted, but I have a nagging doubt that I've left something out of my registration and application.  Call it paranoia if you'd like, but would you please help me confirm that I've completed all of my steps?

Thanks very much,

Bob P.

Hi Christine,

Can you tell me if this program still exists and how much does it cost for each course ?

Thanks,

Ravi
