"When I say that I studied at ORT colleges, they look at me in a completely different light,"

Osher Sheetrit, an electrical practical engineer and a graduate of the ORT Braude College of Technology in Carmiel, currently works for a successful high-tech company.

"I decided to study for a practical training degree because I knew it was an essential profession," he says.

"The college gave me the opportunity to fulfill my ambitions. I finished with an average of 97 mainly thanks to the quality teaching staff and all the tools they gave me. The lecturers are at the highest level, I consult with them to this day. All the time.If not the college, it would have been much harder for me to get into the high-tech field and I would definitely recommend young people to enroll in one of the ORT colleges. About me in a completely different light because they have a good name,

Osher continued: "I felt taken care of all the time, and not just during school. Towards graduation the lecturer emphasized to us how to prepare for a job interview, what to write in a resume, what to do in a new job and what to avoid. These are tips that accompany me to this day. "They helped me a lot to integrate into the job market. Other colleges also study the same material, but ORT colleges demonstrate after each class exactly what the poet meant. It helps to put together a clear picture that helps us paint life outside and get to it much more prepared."

"We would stay at the college until tonight

Independent in media design and branding, together with another graduate of the network.

"The thing that was most important to me as a student was the content, and at ORT colleges they always make sure to be the most up-to-date on what is happening in the market," says Yoni.

"The studies are in line with the practice required today and this is very important. If they saw something new enter the market - a few months later it was already in the curriculum. Everything is always up to date and innovative and that plays an important part in my success."

"The study track touches on all areas - design, frontline communication, photography, graphics software, web design, branding and more," Yoni noted.

"I received amazing tools that helped me progress at a dizzying pace and the pleasant atmosphere and study environment contributed to this. In the profession I studied the atmosphere is completely different - more homely and fun. Doing joint activities, eating together and studying together. I remember there were times the guard would throw us out of college "The guys stayed together until the wee hours of the night. We used to spend time together outside of school hours as well. It was a simply amazing experience."

June continued: "Already during my studies I found a job in the field, in the leading studio of Walla Shops. Thanks to the many tools I received in college, I progressed very quickly, and within a year and a half I ran the studio, in parallel with my studies. "There is no doubt that I have reached the place where I am thanks to ORT colleges."

"The beginning was difficult but in the end I finished with an average of 98"

The beginning of Sharon, who studied for a practical engineering degree in electronics at ORT Rehovot, was not easy.

"I remember at the beginning of school I was in shock. We were hundreds of guys, and you could count the number of women on one hand. I was in the market, both from the fact that there were almost no other girls and from the profession, which was very masculine. It just happened. It was hallucinatory and amazing at the same time and I very quickly enjoyed every moment. For me the staff are like my friends; they sat with us, explained with great patience and accompanied us to the end, even if it means staying beyond school hours. I'm not just talking about The lecturers - both the director of the college and the dean were there for us at any given moment. "

"The beginning was difficult but in the end I finished with an average of 98," Sharon recalls.

"This is how it is when the material is transferred properly - after that it is easier to find a job. The fact that it is a male profession did not scare me, because what a man can do I can do no less well and I prove it at work every day - I tear myself, put it in Lanston and break I have my nails, but this is the job and I enjoy it. "

David, another graduate of the network, chose to study in a slightly different track.

"I chose to study Speed ​​Tech at ORT Singalovsky College in Tel Aviv. It is a relatively short course that lasts about a year, during which you learn the basics of the software world, in order to join leading companies in the economy upon graduation. .

David added: "At ORT colleges there is a feeling that you are taken care of all the time. I will not forget that one of the principals of the program used to have regular conversations with us, to see that we were fine. It felt like he was one of ours, "Almost 100 percent of the students in my track found a job in the field upon graduation. For example, I work for BMC and am satisfied with every moment."
