CAST Software WYSIWYG Helps Design a Solid Future for Students
About this time each academic year CAST Software of Toronto, Canada, owner of wysiwyg, likes to inform schools about ways to help them equip graduates as they move into the real world.
To demonstrate CAST's commitment to the production professionals and designers of tomorrow, CAST is offering the wysiwyg New Graduate's Opportunity. Simply, grads can purchase a wysiwyg Design license for USD1250 or a wysiwyg Perform license for USD2099 - that is half-price - a huge saving. This offer will expire on 15 Jul 09.
CAST recognizes the importance of equipping these highly computer literate aspiring professionals with the right tools to start off their careers. The New Graduate's Opportunity is an incredible offer. Grads will get the edge-up and the help they need to beat their competition for the best jobs. This opportunity means grads can launch their career with wysiwyg - the state-of-the-art lighting design and pre-visualization professional production software that is an industry standard.
The offer is only open to graduating students. To take advantage of the Opportunity, grads must first register their new graduate status with CAST by submitting the Student Opportunity Registration form (which requires information about their school, course and educational status). Alternatively, grads can telephone CAST in North America and speak to Michell about the New Graduate's Opportunity.
CAST is very involved in helping students prepare for a dynamic career, not only with offers for new graduates. CAST also sponsors a number of student design competitions throughout the academic year including The USITT Southwest Student Design Competition, the wysiwyg R23 Showcase at the University of Glamorgan, and the USITT National. CAST sponsors these awards through the donation of the Educational Licenses of wysiwyg Design.
In addition, approximately 300 education facilities around the world run wysiwyg Learns, which average 20 seats each, to teach students about CAD-ing and theatre arts/production. Whether in the school computer lab or by using wysiwyg Education on their laptops, students gain valuable experience about stages and staging by building and playing with various concepts and ideas - safe trial and errors in the virtual world - using wysiwyg's infamous library of 20,000+ objects specific to the industry. wysiwyg facilitates invaluable experience for students who will upgrade the industry over time. CAST adds more schools every month. Combined, these facts help explain the growing demand worldwide by production professionals, teachers and students for wysiwyg.
