High Tech’s Inspirational Response to Nir Forti (Z’L) Tragedy
In the midst of this harrowing war, Israeli businesses are impacted on many levels; economic uncertainty, working despite colleagues being in reserve duty, and also dealing with the heartbreaking loss of their own employees.
TytoCare – which creates remote health care solutions- is an Israel-based company with hundreds of employees and should be recognized for its remarkable approach and unwavering commitment to rebuilding. Their first Sales Development Representative hire, Nir Forti Z’L, was murdered at the Nova music Festival on October 7th.
In the face of this unimaginable grief for the family, and friends from work, TytoCare has found a meaningful way to rebuild; A way to turn this sorrow into a powerful positive force.
TytoCare has chosen to honor the memory of Nir Forti by launching a full scholarship to help other young Israelis find their way into successful careers in high tech. They have partnered with SDRs of Israel community to provide scholarships for other Israelis to retrain and enter the high tech workforce through Salesclass. Salesclass is an online bootcamp that has trained nearly 400 SDRs who are working in more than 200 different high tech companies.
The scholarships are an opportunity for people like Nir, who are full of energy and motivation, to launch their sales career, to access excellent training opportunities, and to step forward into the world of high tech in Israel.
