Young Jews from all over the world are now coming to Israel to learn about start-ups and tech companies, thanks to a Maccabi World Union initiative.
The new project – the Israel Startup Experience (ISE) program – is in collaboration with and supported by Masa Israel Journey, intended for young Jews ages 17-20 from 85 countries around the world.
The curriculum is on the world of start-ups in Israel and includes an internship at these companies.
In the past year, about 100 Maccabi World members came to Israel for 7 months of study in the ISE program.
Eyal Tiberger, CEO of Maccabi World, said: “Since the beginning of the ISE – Israel Startup Experience – project, about 40 members of the movement have been absorbed into Israeli start-ups, most of whom have immigrated to Israel and enlisted in the IDF.”
