The Woman2Woman program of the 8200 Alumni Association will run a project to train women for development positions

The Woman2Woman program of the 8200 Alumni Association has won a tender from the Innovation Authority to return women to R&D positions in high-tech and will run a project to train women for development positions and their integration in R&D positions throughout the coming year. The project will be conducted in collaboration with leading Israeli high-tech companies, including Microsoft's Development Center in Israel, Salesforce, Dell, General Motors and others.
According to Michal Krimolovsky, director of the program, the main target audience is women with experience or education in technological professions who are not currently engaged in their field of specialization in high-tech and are interested in entering or returning to this field. The program will host executives from high-tech companies who will talk about ways to integrate into development positions, as well as hold personal meetings depending on the background and skills of each of the participants.
The Hershkovitz Foundation, one of the founders of W2W: "In recent years, the proportion of women working in high-tech positions, including senior executives and entrepreneurs, has increased. In the program, we will help integrate women in these positions in the leading companies in the country. "
The 8,200 alumni association has 18,000 alumni and alumni of the unit. The association leads many activities to promote technological entrepreneurship, promote minority populations and women in the technological worlds and promote technological education in the periphery
