What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as a CAD Government professional?

To thrive as a CAD Technician in government, you need proficiency in computer-aided design (CAD) software, strong technical drawing skills, and often an associate degree or certification in drafting or a related field. Familiarity with industry-standard tools like AutoCAD, Civil 3D, or MicroStation, as well as knowledge of relevant codes and regulations, is typically required.
