The second cycle of the “Atidaim” program for electronic engineering studies, at the end of which the graduating students will join the “Elbit” company, was opened last December, at the Beer Sheva College of Technology. The program, operated by “Elbit”, the association “Atidim”, MHT, the Ministry of Labor and the College of Technology in cooperation with the Lottery, allows young men and women to study for an electronics engineering degree, and upon graduation to integrate, as mentioned, a job at the giant company “Elbit” Israel, at its factory in Arad.
Beer Sheva College of Technology continues the momentum of the flagship programs in collaboration with the industry and “Atidaim”, and opened another cycle in collaboration with “Elbit” Arad. The opening meeting was attended by representatives of “Elbit”, “Atidaim”, the technological college, the “Distance” program to promote quality employment for Ethiopian expatriates and the wing and the fund for discharged soldiers. This class, with 22 students, joins 35 engineering classes in the “Futures” project all over the country, and the students participating in the class are part of another 800 students who have successfully completed the program, with very high diploma and placement data.
The students who were selected after a quality selection process and will be admitted to “Elbit” Arad were invited to the meeting. Marina Peleg, responsible for the “Futures” program, congratulated the selected students, and explained to them and the partners about the program, in which they will be trained as an electronics engineer in an accelerated course of 17 months of study. The students will benefit from a broad envelope of support for academic success and optimal acceptance at “Elbit”. Peleg also thanked all the partners on the way, including Mahat, the “Together” fund, “Lalmach” and the wing and the fund for discharged soldiers.
Yaakov Dor, CEO of the Beer Sheva College of Technology, congratulated the students for joining the second cycle of the program with “Elbit” Arad.

This means that the sorting and screening processes of the project are high, and the added value is the absorption of a quality population in the industry. In the coming years, the demand for young people to work in technological fields that deal with the core of defense manufacturing will increase. Through this project, we manage to change the mindset of young people regarding understanding what an engineer is and its importance in the job market.”
