R., was married and living in a peripheral town in southern Israel. After suffering economic and physical abuse from her partner — who prevented her from working — she began divorce proceedings. While in the middle of her second pregnancy and caring for a two-year-old at home, she made the bold decision to join our Single Mothers Course, which trains participants to become recruitment coordinators in tech companies. After completing the course, R. went on maternity leave while actively job searching with the support of our professional team. At the end of her leave, she was thrilled to learn she had been accepted as a full-time employee at the placement company Tegbur.
“This program gave me an incredible push — a real kick. It helped me say to myself, ‘I can do this.’ Without it, I wouldn’t have made the change. Thank you for the push, for being there, and for everyone who cares.”
