Malam Expanding Employment in Beitar Illit
By Yechiel Sever
Maalot, a development and training center in Beitar Illit and
a part of the Malam Group, is expanding. Twenty programmers
from the city will participate in the next course, after
which they will join the 30 women from Beitar already working
at the company, which outsources software development and
testing.
The Maalot Project, set up at the initiative of Beitar Mayor
Rabbi Yitzchok Pindrus, who has been working in recent years
to promote various high-tech enterprises and other employment
centers for women at the Professional Center for Development
and Employment in Beitar Illit, where hundreds of local women
are employed. The initiative is supported by the Ministry of
Trade and Employment, the JDC and the City of Beitar Illit.
Branches of several companies have been opened at the site,
including the Malam Group, CityBook, EDS and FXEM.
The 20 women enrolled in the course will join .Net, Oracle
and COBOL programmers currently working on the company's
various development projects. The training program is being
conducted by Reality, a training company recently acquired by
Malam.
Atzmon Mins, vice president and director of offshore activity
at Malam, says, "The women selected to participate in the
training program are outstanding software engineers who
passed meticulous screening and assessment tests. Malam
management believes in this area of activity and is working
to expand it, based on the recognition and belief that this
is a success for all of the partners in the process."
