Cimatron Technologies Inc., a subsidiary of Cimatron Limited (NASDAQ: CIMT), today announced that it will provide 25 seats of its leading CAD/CAM software CimatronE to the North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC) at no cost.

Working together to address one of the largest crises facing the manufacturing industry - the lack of skilled workers, Cimatron and NIACC's CAD/CAM educational courses will give students the fundamentals needed for success in the field.

"We are pleased to be able to give back to the community in such a way that directly impacts the manufacturing industry," said Mr Bill Gibbs, Cimatron's President North America.

"We appreciate what Cimatron is doing to help colleges like ours offer the highest levels of technology to our students," said Dr. Debra A Derr, President of NIACC.

"Students coming out of this program will be ready to assume a productive role in the manufacturing sector and fill some critical skills gaps that are challenging manufacturers today."

NIACC tool and die instructor Kevin Losee is excited to be trained on the new software so it can be used in classes this fall: "We partner with many businesses in the area and we are always grateful for those partnerships. We are eager to begin this new partnership with Cimatron. The software we will be using from Cimatron is another tool we can use in training our students in the ever changing world of manufacturing."

Continuing education opportunities for existing businesses that utilize the software will also be explored in the future.
