Alphabet Inc\u2019s Google and Israel\u2019s Reichman University have set up a school to train hi-tech professionals, offering courses in computer programming, sales and data analysis, among other subjects, the university said on Monday.<\/p>\n
Israel has a vibrant hi-tech sector but a severe shortage of skilled tech workers has led to tens of thousands of unfilled positions.<\/p>\n
The School of High Tech will subsidise students from under-represented communities \u201cincluding women, the ultra-Orthodox, Arabs, members of the Ethiopian community and people from the geo-social periphery and disadvantaged socio-economic groups,\u201d the university said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe that a variety of voices, opinions and perspectives enriches Israeli hi-tech and its developments,\u201d said Barak Regev, the managing director of Google Israel.<\/p>\n
Courses were being rolled out over the next few weeks and students completing courses at the school would earn credit towards a degree, the university said.<\/p>\n
Courses, which would be held at the Google Campus in Tel Aviv and the Reichman University in the Israeli city of Herzliya, would be offered in programming, software testing, business development, sales and data analysis. Google would provide scholarships to participants.<\/p>\n
The technology sector accounts for about 15% of Israel\u2019s economic activity and hundreds of new start-ups are founded each year. In the first half of 2022, Israeli tech firms raised nearly $10 billion in investments, according to the Israeli Tech Review.<\/p>\n
Google has been stepping up investment in Israel. <\/p>\n
