Migo CEO Reveals 82% of Graduates Boost Salaries Through Unique Haredi Tech Program

Itzik Krombi, CEO of Migo, the Haredi Center for Engineering and Technology, outlined a new educational model designed to overcome traditional barriers faced by Haredi families in Israel. Speaking on the radio program 'Your Voice' with journalist Efrat Finkel-Lev, Krombi explained that until recently, Haredi families had to choose between lengthy academic degrees that are difficult to balance with family life or short courses that do not significantly improve wages. Migo offers an alternative with official state-certified diploma programs in in-demand engineering fields such as software, electronics, electrical, construction, and medical systems engineering. These courses are held in focused evening sessions three to four days a week, allowing students to continue their daily routines without interruption.

The program provides comprehensive support, including foundational English and math strengthening, proactive workshops, and personalized guidance leading directly to employment in leading companies. The learning environment respects religious lifestyle needs, offering full separation, filtered internet, and adherence to Haredi customs. Addressing concerns about the high-tech sector crisis and AI impacts, Krombi emphasized Migo's expansion beyond software into stable fields like medical devices, air conditioning, and construction to ensure sustainable, high-paying jobs tailored to individual abilities.

Currently, Migo has over 800 active students nationwide, with 82% of graduates successfully entering the general labor market and achieving significant salary increases. The program is fully subsidized and offers monthly persistence scholarships for eligible students. Due to high demand, registration for the eighth cycle is underway, with classes filling quickly across the country. Migo encourages families to secure their economic future by enrolling now.
