The CODALLEH program currently spans over 720 hours of study. It uses advanced teaching techniques, like hybrid learning, to maximize the pace and quality of education according to current industry needs. 

We plan to expand CODALLEH to 2,000 hours of study, including in it many B.sc and M.sc topics, to provide broad and high-quality education. Content refining is based on several principles: 

  • Focus only on required programming languages, leaving time for in-depth learning of each of them:
    Focus only on required programming languages, leaving time for in-depth learning of each of them:

    Focus on C, C ++, Python, and OpenCL and use these programming languages in various algorithmic projects - computer games, computer vision, embedded systems, and more.

  • Endorsing skills over trivia knowledge
    Endorsing skills over trivia knowledge

    Learning how to find knowledge and how to imply it instead of memorizing facts. Several examples: Language:  All studies are in English, Speed: touch-typing and mastery of the work environment are developed. Attitude: Starting to write projects from very early stages in the program, and doing them with the same methods and tools as in industry, just like at work, while integrating mathematical principles and teamwork practice.

  • Use of tools and methods from the industry
    Use of tools and methods from the industry

    From the first stages of the training, the students gain knowledge of tools and methods of development from the industry, such as working with git, code review, writing automatic tests (Unit tests), and Test-Driven-Development,

    and more. Towards the last few months, a final project is carried out in collaboration with high-tech companies from the Israeli industry under the program staff's guidance and supervision.

Why choose our graduates?

The existing shortage in the high-tech industry measures in recent years to about 18.5 thousand workers. The Codalleh program responds to this shortage:  

Government aid worth up to 30% of the salaries is granted to high-tech companies that employ ultra-Orthodox men and women in junior positions. 

More about the program:

  • 01.
    The Quality: The CODALLEH program focuses 100% on teaching programming practices and knowledge that have actual demand in the industry to make the landing into the actual workspace as smooth as possible.
  • 02.
    The Support: The CODALLEH program is responsible not only for training but also for placement and integration of the graduates - supporting both the graduates and the workplace to ensure all parties' satisfaction. The program creators have a vast experience of best practices of integrating the ultra-Orthodox public into high-tech.
  • 03.
    The Quantity: Employment statistics indicate that more and more ultra-Orthodox women are employed in the high-tech industry. Because of the large number of graduates, many companies try - but often fail - to make the required integration. Working with CODALLEH means benefiting from the program's initiators' help and support - who are top professionals from the ultra-Orthodox community themselves. The CODALLEH team will be there for you to make the integration process as smooth and successful as possible and not to drown in the overwhelming number of applicants and other challenges.

We invite you to join the pioneering companies that are already making their first steps in the new job placement arena, along with CODALLEH's innovative training program.
