Alphabet Inc's Google (GOOGL.O) and Israel's Reichman University have set up a school to train high-tech professionals, offering courses in computer programming, sales, and data analysis among other subjects.
Israel has a vibrant high-tech sector but a severe shortage of skilled tech workers has led to tens of thousands of unfilled positions.
The School of High Tech will subsidize students from under-represented communities "including women, the ultra-Orthodox, Arabs, members of the Ethiopian community, and people from the periphery and disadvantaged socio-economic groups."
Courses are being rolled out over the next few weeks and students completing courses at the school will earn credit towards a degree, the university said.
