Current trends and Perspectives • Israel needs “high quality” engineers • Currently: outsourcing to India and Far East • At JCT (Machon Lev), at least in electro-optics and electronics: we encourage weak students to move to other departments • RF has once again become an interesting area => new courses and labs • Life sciences are taking off => engineering disciplines are looking to find ways to apply their techniques to life sciences

  5. JCT is addressing Major Issues In Israel Today Providing academic opportunities to meet Israel’s economic and social needs

  6. Advancing Ethiopian Israelis • First engineering college to take up the challenge • 135 Ethiopian students currently studying at JCT: 95 men and 40 women • 95 graduates with bachelor degrees, most of them professional officers in IDF • 99% employment rate in professional occupations

  7. Academic Education for the Haredi Population 500 haredi men among 2000 students on the men campus 1000 haredi women among 2000 students on the women campuses • Religious institution • Academic research institution • Range of student services • Established institution’s reputation for job placement

  9. Haredi Employment

  10. HarediEmployment - requirements • Not to be afraid to employ haredim engineers • Need for some adaptations • Women: schedule, working environment, etc. • Men: time for prayer, working environment (at a less extent than for women, …) • Benefits for the company: • Hours at work are hours at work • Lower rate of jumping from place to place • Etc.
