UPDATE - From SW World 2009

In a pre-announcement of sorts, Jeff Ray spoke about a new program that will start later this year called Engineering Stimulus Package.  This program is designed to support engineers who have lost their job through no fault of their own in the current difficult economic environment.  A free personal version of SolidWorks will be given to such individuals, along with contact with their local VAR.
In a news conference later today, Jeff Ray added that this program is similar to another program implemented by SolidWorks Corp during the last economic downturn.  The key difference this time is that this new program will have the goal to help the participicants to achieve a CSWA, which will give them an advantage by providing certification of their skillset related to SolidWorks. He also added that the roll out of this program will be in different stages around the world, but that it will be global (not North American centric).  A forecoming official press release will have more details later this year.
