As Robert Morton writes, on his Medium.com portal, in the text “Training future spies: How Israel and the CIA form young agents”, “Odem” is ** an elite program** designed for students from ninth grade. It takes the form of a joint venture implemented by ** Defence Ministry, Israel defence Force (IDF), Ministry of Education**, as well as 2 leading intelligence agencies: ** Mossad** (foreign intelligence) and **Shin Bet** (internal safety service). The aim of the task is to train young people in technology, strategical reasoning and analytical skills so that in a fewer years they can easy join the Israeli intelligence apparatus.
