What you would be doing

Sigma lets electronics-track high-school graduates continue technological studies in grades 13-14 toward an electronics technician diploma, focused on communications. Studies take place at one of four colleges, with Military Intelligence covering 80% of tuition. On finishing, you're guaranteed placement in a key role at one of the Intelligence Corps' technological units, after a further course at the corps' training base. Along the way you pick up civilian courses like JohnBryce, HP and Microsoft, and military ones like NET, Linux and PowerShell, with a chance to move into research and development later on.

What it takes to get in

Profile 25 and above, Dapar 50 and above, graduate of an electronics track. Accepting the track requires committing to keva (career service) afterward — one year for those who studied grade 13 only, a year and a half for grades 13 and 14.

Training

Grade 13, or grades 13 and 14, of study, followed by a one-month course and training at the unit.

Where you serve

At open and closed Aman (Military Intelligence) bases around the country.

What it is worth afterwards

An electronics technician diploma from the Ministry of Education, plus experience from both civilian and military IT courses — a strong head start into high-tech after the army.
