HIT Holon Institute of Technology

Professional Services & Ops Team Lead at RISE
B.Sc. Learning Technologies

Studying at HIT was a highly hands-on experience courses that force you to build things, not just talk about them. There’s real room for personal initiative and project-based work. Students who show up actively engaged get far more out of it than those who just come to “pass courses.” Our final project, Sensei Adventures an educational VR game we built from scratch — was the moment I fully connected instructional content, user experience, and cutting-edge technology in a single creation.

In my case, there was no sharp transition into the job market, because I was already working during my studies. What the degree did do was give depth and professional vocabulary to what I had already been doing intuitively content design, pedagogical thinking, user experience. Things that had worked for me instinctively became structured and grounded. That strengthened my professional confidence and the quality of my decision-making significantly.

Entering the Job market was built on my ability to bridge business and technology and to understand complex systems. My advice: find out how much you build in any degree you’re considering. Ask what projects students work on, check the industry connections, and talk to alumni not just faculty.

Our program is small compared to others, and that gave me a nearly family-like classroom experience personal familiarity with lecturers, and I knew everyone in my cohort by name. That’s not something you can take for granted in an academic degree, and it enabled genuine collaborative learning and a real sense of closeness. The program director was always available, always trying to help navigate challenges along the way and I never took that for granted.

My own transition into the workforce was smooth, because I began working at the institute under one of my professors. There was complete alignment between what he expected me to know and what I knew. I felt responsibility and independence from day one and I’m genuinely happy with where I landed.

One important note: graduates of our program need to be prepared to do their own PR, since most employers aren’t yet familiar with it. But those who work hard throughout the degree, ask questions, and seek out opportunities the opportunity finds them. I’m living proof of that.

My experience studying at HIT was excellent. One of the institute’s greatest strengths is that it attracts a mature student body veterans who bring practical knowledge, and people who are simply driven to succeed. The flexible schedule allows students to work while studying, and when you encounter real engineering challenges during the day and then sit in a lecture that evening explaining the theory behind them it makes the entire experience far more meaningful.

I landed my job at Intel thanks to HIT’s alumni network. A fellow graduate posted a student position before it went public, because he wanted to give HIT alumni a first shot. It’s not favoritism it’s opportunity. When I later recruited for my own team, I felt the same drive to give back, and one of the HIT students I brought on is now truly thriving. The bottom line: there are HIT graduates throughout the industry today, and we are all ambassadors for the next generation.

The transition into the industry came naturally, because I had been working since my first year of studies. The experience a student builds alongside their degree is a genuine advantage. I combined theoretical knowledge with hands-on practice and that combination is what opens doors.

Throughout my studies, I felt I was at a genuine, professional, and serious academic institution and at the same time, a nurturing environment. The faculty had a true open-door policy; I could always reach out and get a response. Beyond the academics, I made lifelong friends who are still my closest people today.
We took many practical courses during the degree, and that made a real difference. Students who choose electives aligned with what they want to do professionally are doing themselves a huge favor. That’s exactly what I did: I took a mobile development course, and shortly after graduated I started working in that field it felt like a perfect fit. I developed a way of thinking. That’s the foundation a career is built on.
The transition into the tech industry was relatively smooth. The practical coursework throughout the degree prepared us well, and students who align their electives with their professional goals make that transition even easier.
