Israel: Help and advice abroad

Public employment services

Given the strong policy of encouraging Jewish immigration to Israel, the Israeli government employment services are geared towards assisting new Jewish immigrants. If you have been granted 'new immigrant' status, you are entitled to special assistance from government ministries and various other organisations. This is done primarily through a network of employment/vocational guidance centres, courses and professional retraining programmes, which are aimed at the placement of new immigrants in jobs that match their educational backgrounds, training, experience and personal capabilities. For details see the Ministry of Immigrant Absorption (Israel) .

The Aliyah Job Centre  also provides a range of job advice and job opportunities to those who have obtained, or who are considering, Aliyah (immigration to Israel).

Higher education careers support

See individual institutions for details of the services they provide, for example on-campus job fairs.
