The registration deadline for the seventh cohort of the Kodkod program, which offers advanced technology training for young Haredi men, is fast approaching, with applications closing on Thursday. The program has become a significant pathway for Haredi youth seeking to enter the high-tech industry and serve in elite military units. Kodkod provides seven specialized tracks in high-demand tech fields, including programming, electronics engineering, data analysis, geo-intelligence, DevOps, automation, and cyber analysis.

Program representatives emphasized that Kodkod is not a general course but a selective program designed for individuals with the right aptitude and commitment. It aims to connect participants with advanced training, significant experience, and the opportunity to build an exceptional professional future within a strictly Haredi and religious environment. The program also offers a scholarship to support participants during their training.

Officials highlighted the unique combination of advanced professional training, military service experience, and a meticulously maintained Haredi atmosphere. They cautioned that the application window is closing soon, and some potential candidates are nearing the age limit for entry, meaning this might be their only chance to join. The program urges eligible individuals not to miss this opportunity to secure their future in the tech sector.
