Pre-Academic Programs

The Pre-Academic Unit at Braude College of Engineering is more than just a gateway to higher education; it is a transformative engine for social mobility and professional excellence. We specialize in bridging the gap for talented individuals, providing them with the rigorous academic foundation and essential soft skills required to excel in Israel’s demanding high-tech landscape. By investing in our students, donors are directly fueling the future of Israel’s innovation.

Our support is an investment in proven quality. Every program we offer is fully accredited and supervised by the Council for Higher Education (CHE), ensuring that our students receive an education that meets the highest academic and professional standards.
Regional & Community Impact: Deep-rooted collaborations with Local Authorities, Regional Councils, and Youth Centers (Merkazei Zeirim). Working alongside local education departments, we identify and nurture talent from across the region to ensure equal opportunity and regional prosperity.

Empowering Those Who Served
We are proud to be a trusted partner to Israel’s most vital national institutions. Through our long-standing collaboration with the Ministry of Defense and the Fund for Discharged Soldiers, we help veterans transition from military service to civilian success. We provide those who protected our country with the practical tools and education they need to build a strong future.

Strengthening Our Communities
Our impact is felt deeply across the region. We work hand-in-hand with Local Authorities, Regional Councils, and Youth Centers (Merkazei Zeirim) to find and nurture talent in every community. By working with local education departments, we ensure that every motivated student has an equal opportunity to succeed, driving prosperity for the entire region.

Data-Driven Success
We believe in clear goals and proven methods. By working closely with the National Institute for Testing and Evaluation (NITE), we use precise data to create the best learning pathways for our students. This ensures that every student has the right support to reach their full potential.

Success in engineering requires more than just mastering equations. At Braude, we provide a comprehensive support ecosystem designed to ensure no student is left behind. Our dedicated team walks hand-in-hand with every student, from their first day of prep until they successfully integrate into their degree programs:

• Personal Excellence Coaching with Certified Coaches: Building resilience, confidence, and effective coping with academic and personal challenges
• Personal Mentorship: Academic and emotional support in small-group sessions
• Financial Resilience: Facilitating access to scholarships, national grants, and community-based funding
• Skill Workshops: Focusing on time management, critical thinking, and exam strategies.

Partnering with Braude’s Pre-Academic Unit means investing in diversity, resilience, and engineering excellence. For industry leaders, this is an opportunity to shape the workforce of tomorrow. For donors, it is a chance to provide a life-changing opportunity to students from the periphery and underrepresented communities. Together, we are building a stronger, more inclusive, and technologically advanced Israel.
