Iron Swords Women’s Employment Program

By itworks

Empowering women to create new futures for themselves and their families after the war.

The ChallengeSince 2025, thousands of women across Israel’s northern and southern peripheries have seen their lives uprooted by the war that started on October 7, 2023. Many were forced to flee their homes, lost stable jobs overnight, or became sole breadwinners when partners were drafted into military service. For some, “home” is still a temporary shelter; for others, the long road to economic recovery has only just begun. Our SolutionWe offer these women practical tools and a renewed sense of hope. Our program equips them with in-demand tech skills, vital soft skills, and personalized coaching — all designed to help them re-enter the workforce or rebuild their small businesses, often through remote work that suits their new realities. Inside the ProgramParticipants receive a comprehensive 5-month support package, including: • Practical Tech Skills: In-demand courses like Quality Assurance, designed for remote jobs with hiring partners ready to bring them on board. • Career Workshops: Sessions to boost confidence, build job-readiness, and strengthen communication and interview skills. • Entrepreneur Support: For women business owners whose income was hit hard, we provide training in social media marketing to help them reach new customers online. • Personal Coaching: One-on-one guidance to navigate the job market and plan long-term careers.
