A new initiative will invest NIS 330,000 (approximately $89,000 USD) to support female IDF veterans transitioning into careers in high-tech and medicine. The program aims to provide scholarships, academic guidance, and mentorship, connecting these veterans with the Israeli tech industry as they pursue studies in science, engineering, and medicine.
Participants will engage with industry leaders, visit technology companies, receive assistance with resume building, and practice job interview simulations. The goal is to equip them for successful integration into the tech sector during their studies, enabling them to contribute to Israel's innovation landscape.
Organizers highlighted that these female veterans have already demonstrated leadership, decision-making skills, and the ability to handle complex challenges during their military service. This program seeks to translate those capabilities into academic and employment opportunities. The initiative is a partnership with the Rad-Bi Network Foundation, offering a comprehensive pathway from personal support to direct industry connections.
Professor Zissapel expressed pride in joining forces with the Aseff Foundation for this project, emphasizing the goal of opening doors for women who have already proven their resilience and self-sufficiency in the military. The program intends to foster the next generation of female scientists, engineers, and tech professionals in Israel.
