AI arrives for reserve soldiers in a free training program by a tech entrepreneur

Good news for reserve soldiers, their partners, and disabled IDF veterans. Tech entrepreneur Bar Shaltiel is launching an important initiative, under which free AI training will be provided to reservists.

Against the backdrop of the ongoing security situation and heavy workload, “Prakti AI” has decided to launch an initiative with long-term value, including practical training in popular technological tools that are already transforming the labor market: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, NotebookLM, Gamma, and Lovable. All of these will significantly assist in learning how to create presentations, build websites, and develop AI agents that support day-to-day work.

This initiative connects to the current discourse about the future of employment and artificial intelligence. More and more Israelis understand that AI is no longer just an “advantage,” but an essential professional skill. In some workplaces, employees are already being replaced by AI agents.

Market data indicates a growing demand for workers who know how to use these tools to streamline workflows, increase productivity, and create a professional and financial advantage. In practice, there is no leading workplace - especially in the advertising and communications sectors - that does not utilize AI technology for its benefit.

“This is a combination of saluting reserve soldiers and their families, alongside making future skills accessible and providing a real professional opportunity during such a challenging period,” the initiative’s founders say.
