In a bid to foster diversity and inclusivity in the hi-tech sector, the Israel Innovation Authority (IIA) and the Labor Ministry have announced their joint initiative to invest in training and integration programs for the Bedouin and Ethiopian communities. The aim is to create a pathway for young individuals of Bedouin and Ethiopian descent to thrive in the dynamic and ever-evolving tech industry. The initiative will promote projects focused on integrating talented individuals from underrepresented populations, including the Arab community in the southern region and individuals from the Ethiopian community, into the hi-tech workforce. Dror Bin, the director general of the Israel Innovation Authority, highlighted the importance of integrating diverse talent from various backgrounds. Israel Uzan, the director general of the Labor Ministry, emphasized the commitment to offering high-quality training, especially in light of the changing technological job market.
