IDF Local Groups will expand your local career network – whether you are interested in learning new skills, looking for new job opportunities, new clients for your company, or a great new dedicated employee. 

Each Local Group holds physical meetings and the agenda is to get inspired, discuss, have fun, learn and improve your career. Meetings take place in a relaxed and fun atmosphere at a local cafe, an office building, or an auditorium depending on the agenda for the meeting. For each Local Group there is also an online Local Group so you can stay in touch and help update each other on local events.
