The shortage of skilled workers in the high-tech industry of the start-up nation is severe and is currently estimated at about 15,000 jobs.

Israel has become the second and sometimes also the third base of the international technology giants, with offices of Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook and Intel.

Moreover, some of the international technology giants operate 2 offices.

The great shortage has been tried to compensate for in recent years through "boot-camp", an intensive, focused and short course lasting three months to six months, which prepares people to integrate into the high-tech industry.

From software testers to programmers.

According to the Innovation Authority, there are currently at least 20 extracurricular training frameworks held by bootcamp, which are responsible for an average increase of 20% in the supply of skilled high-tech personnel.

There are different types of bootcamps: there are companies that use a number of bootcamps, there are bootcamps that are funded in general by the Innovation Authority and not by a company, and there are bootcamps that receive funding from several companies.

At the same time it should be noted that there are companies that use the term to demand full cost for the course (about 20,000 NIS) which, despite being very intensive, is not funded. This is a situation where everyone benefits: the company earns employees a relatively low salary (of 12,000 instead of 20,000 for example) and the employees in turn gain initial experience in the field.However, it should be taken into account that the company does not undertake to provide bootcamp graduates with a job.

What is the difference between bootcamp and a short programming course, which is offered in high-tech colleges?

According to Dr. Anat Rapoport, an occupational psychologist from a study site in Israel who provides guidance and counseling to those seeking to acquire an education or profession, in these camps they study mainly programming languages ​​such as html, css, java script and more. Main: The first is in the intensity and the second in the funding and cost of the course.

Who are the candidates for whom bootcamp is relevant?

The target audience is mainly graduates with a bachelor's degree in science, engineering and sometimes also from the social sciences who are interested in making a professional transition to the high-tech field.

According to Inbar Topaz, director of the "Studies in Israel" website, the popular areas of bootcamp are in development and programming - in C / C ++, Full Stack, machine learning, data science, BI and cyber.

From the analysis of the surfers on the "Study Site in Israel", among the non-academic frameworks that offer "bootcamps", the frameworks most searched by those interested in Google are - Express and Infinity Labs and that most of the demand is for data science and full stack courses.

Who are the people who actually come to bootcamp?

According to Dr. Rapaport, most people come with a background in the field. Those who do not come with a background may have difficulty in the course. There are places that offer preparation for those who do not come with a suitable background and are interested in participating in bootcamp.

How much does a course cost and is it possible to get scholarships?

A regular software course is funded by the participant and costs a lot of money.

In contrast, 'bootcamp' is funded in part or in full, by various bodies: the Innovation Authority (formerly the Chief Scientist) and large high-tech companies (e.g. Microsoft, Cisco and more).

That is, you can study in 'bootcamp' at low cost or no cost at all.

However, he requires that the candidate have savings, since as mentioned it is not possible to work and earn a living during the course (in some places scholarships are given, so that even those who do not have savings, can participate).

How do you get into bootcamp?

Some frameworks set threshold conditions that include a psychometric score, a bachelor's degree with a certain average score, screening processes, which include tests in programming, that examine cognitive parameters (for example: rapid learning ability, realistic thinking) along with personal parameters (eg, motivation for independent learning and innovation). personal.

Dr. Anat Rapaport emphasizes that the funding companies submit to the course instructors technical requirements that they expect the course graduates to meet upon completion of the training. The bootcamp prepares according to these requirements, so that the employees are suitable for the industry, upon completion of the bootcamp.

What is the percentage of admission to bootcamp?

According to data from the company Deblip, which deals with consulting in the field of software development and holds bootcamps, in the last course that ended, 300 men and women applied.

Of these, 150 reached the first test, of which only 23 were accepted and only 12 completed the training.

In conclusion, says Inbar Topaz, the bootcamp gives an opportunity to enter high-tech, even for those who have not studied a degree in software engineering or computer science.

This is a difficult route, it does not guarantee one hundred percent work, but gives an opportunity to those who come from different fields and want to make the transition to high-tech.
