CTech – A new initiative to bring Israeli high-tech workers who are employed abroad to return to Israel will kick off next Wednesday on Mar. 24 at a virtual Zoom meeting event. Israeli high-tech workers who have returned to the country will discuss new work opportunities, and present a variety of positions at active R&D centers in Israel. The Back2Tech project was initiated and funded by the Israel Innovation Authority and is designed to answer the overwhelming shortage of high-tech workers, and facilitate an easier return for them and their families as well as promising them a secured position at a trusted company. During the course of the meeting, those who have returned will share their stories and the processes they underwent.
