LOTUS – Women’s High-Tech Hub
ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION
Established in 2018, Lotus: Women’s High-Tech Hub addresses the lack of quality employment opportunities for young Orthodox Druze women, who live in Israel’s periphery (the Druze villages of the Carmel Mountain Region, near Haifa) and represent untapped talent for the high-tech industry. Lotus’s unique model supports quality remote employment modeled to fit the Israeli high-tech industry. Its bootcamp program attracts young Druze women who graduated high school with excellent STEM matriculation, offering relevant software development training, soft skills training, and guaranteed job placement, thanks to strategic partnerships with leading tech firms in Israel.
