After completing the program, many WUJS Israel participants choose to stay in Israel to make Aliyah, seek employment and other opportunities. The process of finding work and accommodation in Israel requires patience, perseverance and a sense of humor. To this purpose the WUJS Israel staff is prepared to help you prepare for the transition to the “real Israel”.
While we make every effort to find the most suitable framework for every graduating student, we can make no guarantees regarding employment or admission to other programs in Israel. We do, however, offer a variety of services to our graduating participants following services for our graduating students.
The greatest advantage that WUJS Israel participants have is access to the Aliyah Information Center of Merkaz Hamagshimim Hadassah, the absorption and community center of Young Judaea Israel.
From the Aliyah Information Center Website:
The Aliyah Information Center for Young Adults is a helpful resource for olim and tourists seeking practical information about
Israel.
Many olim and tourists find it difficult to become accustomed to Israeli bureaucratic systems, be it dealing with banks, ulpanim, insurance companies, or any other aspect of daily life in Israel. The Aliyah Information Center offers a reliable and helpful service to individuals facing this challenging experience. |
We offer a plethora of services, some examples of which are the following: help finding a suitable ulpan, CV translation, assistance in finding housing,and more.
An especially important service for new olim that is offered by the Aliyah Information Center in conjunction with the newly-formed YJ Alumni mentor network is help in finding a job, a formidable process which can be overwhelming to all, but especially to the new immigrant.
From the klitah process to internship placement, the Aliyah Information Center offers helpful services even before the oleh arrives in the country, and continues to provide individual support as one begins a new life in Israel.
We are happy to also offer a new form of assistance as well: the FREE services of Ravit Nakar, a volunteer through the Sochnut (Jewish Agency) who will be available for 1-hour meetings, on Thursday evenings between 7-9pm (at Merkaz Hamagshimim), to help you 1) review rental or work contracts in Hebrew 2) help guide you through the Israeli banking system.
Ravit is a native Israeli who speaks English and will be glad to help you in either language. Appointments must be made in advance by e-mailing Shira at meida@themerkaz.org
