Tsiyona's Story
My name is Tsiyona Kabada, age 23, from Netanya.
I was released from the army three years ago. As any other ex-soldier I started looking for a job in order to start my civil life. A friend told me about a job vacancy in a cafeteria of Shefa Company and I have worked there for the last two years. During my work I have been exposed to a unique program of female enhancement called WEP.
When I was offered to join the program I didn’t think I was qualified since I didn’t have any background or experience in computers. They explained about the importance of the program, its essence and its value in the job market and I decided to enroll and give it a chance.
During the course I met classmates of different ages and backgrounds and I also got to know a wonderful instructor who dedicated all his time and patience to the students. He adjusted himself to the level and progress pace of each student in the class.
I completed the course successfully and I even enjoyed it a lot. The course helped me to get rid of the inhibitions I had about computers and to choose a profession for the future, since now I’m interested in studying computer science in the university and that is why the course has made a great contribution to my life.
Nowadays I work at YES Satellite Services Ltd.
I joined the company as customer service representative and was promoted and now I work as an operational representative in customer relations. I’m very pleased with my new job.
During my studies I received great support from members of IT Works who still keep in touch with me. I would like to express my whole hearted gratitude to Einat, Michal and Ifat for supporting me throughout the course and serving as a great inspiration for me.
And of course, I would like to thank the course instructors Elchay and Itay who answered all my questions even at unreasonable times.
Some moments and some decisions are turning points in life. The WEP was a significant turning point for me both professionally and personally and for this I am very grateful.
