However, this progress hinges on individuals being adequately equipped to work alongside machines in innovative ways. These recent developments are part of Autodesk's broader strategy to ensure the workforce is prepared to thrive in a future where creating and building more efficiently, while minimizing environmental impact, will be crucial. ### Village Capital Initiative to Boost Workforce Development The Autodesk Foundation will fund and back a new initiative from Village Capital aimed at identifying and nurturing startups utilizing automation to positively influence workforce development. This initiative seeks to uncover early-stage companies leveraging artificial intelligence and robotics to enhance workforce efficiency, augmentation, and upskilling. The initiative will conclude with a one-day forum hosted by the Autodesk Foundation and Village Capital. The goal of this forum is to bring together a select group of early-stage companies using AI, robotics, and automation to empower workers to focus on higher-order tasks. It also aims to address labor shortages in sectors like caregiving and manufacturing by enhancing existing workforces. Village Capital identifies, trains, and invests in entrepreneurs solving real-world challenges. They foster communities around these entrepreneurs and their ventures to enhance opportunities for growth and success. ### LinkedIn Learning Offers Over 40 Industry-Specific Courses In partnership with LinkedIn Learning, an online learning platform combining Lynda.com’s premium content with LinkedIn’s professional network, more than 40 courses relevant to the architecture, infrastructure, construction, and manufacturing industries—including courses on leading Autodesk software—will be made freely accessible for 90 days starting from the announcement on Tuesday, November 14.

Metal Frame Wiper Blade

Unlike traditional windshield wipers, the boneless windshield wipers do not have the support of the skeleton. Instead, they are assembled with 4 parts including wiper strips, boneless wiper blades, wiper sheaths, and plastic parts. Under this design, not only the wiper is more flexible, compared with the traditional wiper, the force and wear are more uniform, which can achieve a better wiping effect, and it also further improves the driving safety.
