Success Stories

“It’s amazing that we are not forgotten and are able to enter the high-tech industry workforce, just like veterans of IDF technological units. It allows the combat soldiers to complete their service with a sense of satisfaction knowing that such an opportunity is open to them. I decided to go for it because it was important for me to gain experience in software development before making a decision on my long-term career path.”

“Everyone who came to this course chose to enlist in significant combat service. When you are approached and offered to come to such a program it reflects great appreciation. It is exciting to see the investment in combat soldiers. Beyond learning habits, we gain high-level knowledge and made important contacts within the industry that can help us in the future. I believe that most of the course participants – if not all – will be able to take advantage of this amazing opportunity we were given and integrate into the industry.”
