Qualcomm: May know the language of talent in the company

Teaching how to learn, is all the difference.

Global chip and global communications giant Qualcomm, headquartered in California and traded on the Nasdaq, operates two development centers in Israel - in Haifa and Hod Hasharon. Not many know this, but Qualcomm actually believes in the brains and chips of most mobile phones on the market today - from Samsung to Shiomi. Developing the hardware and features most focused on the worlds of communication and mobile, such as fingerprinting under the screen, advanced cellular photo arrays, elements and features of mobile surfing, 5G and 60GHz networks, which are going to change everything we knew in the worlds of communication speed (and developed here In Israel) etc. It is



good to know that in order to be accepted to work for this company and be an integral part of the design of the mobile technologies of the future, you really do not have to graduate with a degree in quantum engineering from the Technion.The company manages paving tracks for only six months. Join Qualcomm, for a salary of course, as part of deepening their training.And two years later, if both parties are satisfied (and there is no reason not to if you have come this far), the employees become ordinary employees at Qualcomm and integrate into the software development departments, Atomic

Zatzia and the testing in the company.



Limor Lerner, Human Resources Manager at Qualcomm Israel: "Whenever the industry is in crisis, those who fail to integrate into work go back to school and do a recalculation. Now they understand that they do not have to go back to university, but take such a path, and enter high-tech. , You can take a "bootcamp" track, and integrate into high-tech.



"For example, one of our success stories is a young guy who immigrated from Russia.

He barely knew Hebrew when he came to us, we hired him for a job with us, we trained him while studying, and today he is a real talent in one of the software development departments he works in.

If he leaves, we'll have a problem, he's really missing, we won him, really.

Putting aside the fact that he is a quality person, I think what helped him develop professionally was the framework we offered him, our support and of course the training path he went through that was relevant and focused to our world, to high-tech. "



Lerner explains the difference between an academic and one who has not studied:" That, people with academic education, who invested in studies, and excelled, the important tools they really achieved, the central value, is that they learned how to study.

They have basically become skilled students - learning on the go, and motivated to succeed.

Then, they can go to intensive training of half a year, pass it, not everyone can, and at the end of the training be accepted into the profession in which they will work, even if it is not exactly related to the subject they studied.

They have the opportunity to develop into other fields such as entering the high-tech world.

Under the global crisis, the high-tech industry is very stable relative to other industries.

"I can say about Qualcomm, that the success in this stability stems from the ability to make a 'quick' change, among other things to the reality of working from home, but also in the worlds of recruitment and training," adds Lerner. The global crisis is becoming more relevant than ever. There are quite a few people who are currently at home who understand that they can take advantage of time for courses and training tracks, and these can help them re-enter the job market, and not just work, high-tech work.



" The various training currently offered, such as InfintyLabs.

At Qualcomm we can give feedback;

What exactly are we looking for, what skills need to be developed and strengthened in courses, what is lacking in courses - what is no longer relevant in terms of skills, software and languages ​​(something that is important to follow in high-tech).

I do not want to say that there is no such thing in academia, but I find it hard to believe that it is so tight and precise.

Feedback from the employer, lecturer / institution, about what the students need to learn in order to be relevant and accepted to the company, and in general to the labor market.

A dialogue where all parties win, students receive tailored and relevant training for the present and the future, the tracks make sure they are indeed on the right frequency and up to date on what is happening in the industry, and we of course, get diligent and outstanding employees to our line at Qualcomm.

There is a very good job in coordinating the selection of candidates for 'matchmaking'.

Graduates of those tracks are matched to us for integration into the company, and it works amazingly. "

Israel, in particular, was chosen to be one of the first countries in which the pilot for the initiative will be launched.

The initiative includes resources from across LinkedIn, GitaHave, and of course, Microsoft Learn.



Adv. Hila Hibash - Legal Adviser at Microsoft Israel and Head of Government Relations and Social Responsibility: "As one of the largest and most prominent employers in the world and in Israel, we at Microsoft believe it is our responsibility to translate our vision to empower every person and organization in the world to achieve more."

To this end, we have launched a program that leverages our capabilities in a way that will impact the lives of tens of millions of men and women in Israel and around the world who have lost their jobs as a result of the Corona crisis.

Following the deep social and economic crisis we are in, we conducted research through LinkedIn, the world's largest professional social network, and identified the ten most needed professions in the new world of employment.

In the next stage, we coordinated about 1,600 courses and trainings, required for these professions, and to them we provided free and free access to all who require it.

The content we offer as part of the initiative can both train employees for the professions of the future and also improve the situation of employees who want to improve their career path. "
