Application Process

Enjoy the Ride

The best way to know if you’re a LEADER is to apply to the program: Our application process replicates the experiences and excitement that make up the entrepreneurial journey. You’ll seize an opportunity, realize your vision, and work with a diverse team. You’ll learn that entrepreneurship is a way of thinking—and not just acting—in the world. And most of all, you’ll learn that you can stretch your limits, which is precisely what we’re looking for.

It’s as Easy as 1-2-3

Our three-stage process begins in the second semester of each academic year. All BGU students pursuing a first degree can apply to be part of LEADERS in their final year of study, and accepted students can reserve a spot in either their third or fourth years.

If you applied in your first year but weren’t accepted, definitely try again in your second! Persistence is a vital entrepreneurial quality.

Personal Questionnaire

Stage One

You’ll fill out a detailed questionnaire about your background, your army or national service, and your education. We also want to hear about your interest in the worlds of entrepreneurship and innovation.

Group Challenge and Personal Interview

Stage Three

After the exams period is over, applicants who advanced beyond the first and second stage are invited to Yazamut’s headquarters for the process’ grand finale: a group challenge and personal interview.

First, you’ll help a group of applicants fulfill an entrepreneurial task that helps us understand the way you think and work together with a team. Then, you’ll meet with LEADERS staff to talk about your personality, your professional goals, and how LEADERS can help advance your career dreams.
