In 21st century reality, the employment world consists of different stages which require various skills and qualifications. There is a growing need to study the requirements of the changing market, the possibilities it holds and the required skills. It is necessary to understand the career world, and to receive preparation for an independent financial self-management, in order to create a future prospect.
The ORT Israel network developed for its pupils a three-years program, which focuses on identifying strengths and skills and promoting them, while also training for emotional self-regulation and for setting goals. The program teaches concrete skills in order to prepare the pupils for a changing and complex future. Among these skills are financial education, entrepreneurship and understanding of the processes of the future employment world. It also provides tools for self-management in a world which lacks certainty (including, among others, introduction to the the academy and the industry and connecting with experienced mentors).
Towards the conclusion of the program, each pupil will participate in a communal project, in which they will be able to share with the community the main ideas they learned as part of the program.
