Through our partnership with the Social Work Department, we have learnt that often because of different life circumstances and personal struggles, social services recipients have not reached their professional potential and often suffer from employability conflicts and lack of work fulfillment.
Many times they turn to different social work departments and ask for training courses, because they acknowledge that it is an opportunity to improve their lives and their families income.
​
The private sector offers a range of opportunities for training programs for adults: day and night courses, half-day or shortened courses and more.
​
Including socially and economically disadvantaged populations in such courses, enables not only a wide range of professional training options, but also allows every individual to find the most suitable match for their interests, capabilities, lifestyles and professional ambitions. Participants choose their own training course and training institute, and we grant matching scholarships in memory of Ahuva and Mordechai Buchman.
​
Professional rehabilitation is a powerful tool not only economically, but also in personal and self-esteem terms.
Through the process, the participant gains a sense of personal responsibility, becoming proactive and finding the solution for himself by himself and ultimately creating his own life plan.
