  • Registration for the Kodkod program's seventh cohort closes this Thursday.
  • The program offers advanced tech training for Haredi youth.
  • It provides seven specialized tracks in fields like programming and cyber analysis.
  • Kodkod aims to connect participants with elite military units and high-tech careers.
  • Some applicants may be nearing the age limit for this final opportunity.

The registration deadline for the seventh cohort of the Kodkod program, which offers advanced technology training for Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) youth, is fast approaching this Thursday. The program has become a significant pathway for young Haredi men seeking to enter the high-tech industry while serving in elite military units. Kodkod provides seven specialized tracks in sought-after 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, religiously observant program designed to connect participants with advanced training, significant experience, and the opportunity to build an exceptional professional future. They stressed that individuals who are suitable for the program but do not apply may miss a rare and irreplaceable opportunity. The program seeks candidates with the right aptitude, abilities, and readiness to meet its demanding standards.

The Kodkod program offers a unique combination of advanced professional training, service experience, and a strictly observant Haredi environment, along with a scholarship to aid candidates. The article notes that some potential applicants are nearing the age limit for entry, meaning this could be their final chance to join. Interested individuals are urged to check the admission requirements and submit their applications before the Thursday deadline.
