The chances of boys and girls from Israel’s periphery to reach a prestigious, high-paying career in the nation’s hi-tech industry are very slim due to the severe shortage of computer science teachers in the public school system

These gaps are a social “time bomb” that deepens inequality in Israel
Only by integration into the hi-tech industry can these marginalized young men and women climb the socioeconomic ladder!
Nitzanim (est. in 2016) is an effective, multi-year training process starting at middle-school level through to advanced and professional training. Its goal is to prepare young adults from Israel’s socioeconomic periphery for successful integration into IDF Tech Units and the local hi-tech industry
Currently there are more than 3,600 participants in all the programs in various venues throughout the Negev and Galilee (Beersheba, Yeruham, Netivot, Dimona, Kiryat Gat, Ofakim, Tiberius, Beit Shean and others)
