Migo Opens Enrollment for Subsidized Technical Training for Haredi Men

The article says that, amid rising living costs and economic uncertainty, the best way for families to build long-term stability is to learn a practical profession with steady demand and government supervision through the MAHAT framework. It argues that such training is preferable to temporary work because it can lead to dignified earnings and stronger financial resilience at home.

Migo, a program designed for Haredi men with technical and technological aptitude, is recruiting for its eighth cohort. It offers sought-after engineering technician tracks tied to industry needs, including software development, electronics engineering, building engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, medical equipment technology, and refrigeration and air conditioning for large buildings and data centers.

The program says it is built around evening classes so students can keep working and supporting their families while studying. Tuition is fully subsidized, and participants also receive a monthly attendance stipend, which the program says helps them avoid debt or loans while preparing for a career.

Migo also promises a Haredi learning environment and ongoing support, including preparatory courses, industry mentors, and direct connections to employers and leading companies for job placement. Registration for the eighth cohort is open nationwide in Jerusalem, Bnei Brak, Beitar Illit, Beit Shemesh, Ashdod, Haifa, and Beersheba, with limited spots available.
