Experience Lotus

About

Lotus aims at first generation Druze orthodox women, who will break the glass ceiling and get attractive jobs in leading hi-tech firms. Lotus was established to address about 400 young orthodox Druze women, who live in the Israeli periphery and are not allowed, due to tradition and religious practice, to drive or work outside of the village boundaries, in a mixed-gender environment. Lotus runs a one-year program to train these women to become Full-Stack Developers. The first cohort of 15 women is currently working remotely for leading Hi-tech firms, in a women-only tech Hub in Daliet-El-Carmel. The 2nd cohort of 20 women began their training in September 2019 and are currently in the placements stage of the program.
