Launching Tech Circles 3

In a time when access to resources can be limited, Tech Circles is creating pathways for growth. Tech Circles is a transformative program bridging local Palestinian talent with global expertise. With 22 diaspora mentors from cities like Dubai, Germany, and the USA—working at leading companies such as Oracle, AWS, and IBM Canada—the program provides mentorship, skill-building, and networking opportunities to 100 participants from Gaza and the West Bank. These talented individuals gain real-world experience through internships and mock interviews, preparing them to thrive in the global tech industry. Tech Circles empowers innovation by connecting resources, guidance, and community support to shape future leaders.
