In a recent press release, a design and BIM software provider has stated they will be offering recent graduates 40 percent off perpetual software licenses to help their transition to professional careers as part of the new student2PRO program.

 
"Starting a career after graduation is a momentous milestone for any graduate, and the student2PRO program is the perfect initiative in helping graduates take that first step toward career success without having a huge financial burden setting them back," said the marketing programs director. "This option is to help ensure up-and-coming professionals have the necessary 2D drawing, 3D modeling, and BIM tools to bring their designs to life."

The new gateway program is helping recent graduates jumpstart their professional careers more easily by offering discounts on standard prices. Program participants are also eligible for a 40 percent discounted membership to a maintenance program that includes upgrades to products, priority technical support, exclusive training opportunities, early release of new content libraries and member-only features in the company's file sharing and storage service.

"Going the student2PRO route was such a valuable option for me," said Chloe Clark, a San Diego State University alumna, as she explained how she now uses some of the professional software in her day-to-day work as a fulltime lighting designer. "It's an easy way for me to always stay up to date."
 
To qualify for student2PRO, graduates must have completed a degree at a university, college, post-secondary vocational or poly-technical school within the past 365 days and submit transcripts or a diploma showing degree completion and graduation date. Alternatively, graduates can take advantage of the current monthly or yearly subscription license offerings on products, where available.
