Yeshiva students enroll in investment consultancy course
Those praying for a surge in the Israeli stock market indexes received spiritual reinforcement from an unexpected source: Twenty-five yeshiva students have enrolled in a special two-and-a-half-year course that will train them to become investment consultants and portfolio managers, Yedioth Ahronoth reported Sunday.
The course is being given in the framework of project "Dignified Livelihood", which was launched by the minister of industry, trade and labor in cooperation with the Open University and the Jewish American Joint Distribution Committee with the aim of incorporating ultra-Orthodox Jews into the workforce.
The majority of the 1,000 yeshiva students who have already attended 50 such training courses, which focus on math, economics, computer science and English studies, have already entered the job market.

How about teaching secular subjects in High School (duh!) so they aren't complete idiots when trying to pass these courses as adults.

The rabbonim are allowing them to take a course so they can WORK? some thing sounds very un-kosher here.
