Agenda

The labor market in Israel today, more than ever before, is competitive, inaccessible, and discriminatory, resulting in a job search which is complex, difficult, frustrating and sometimes lengthy.  For the "experienced job seekers" (ages 40+) and Olim, the process is even more difficult and complex.

Many job seekers encounter complex and varied barriers and difficulties. The barriers they face often lead to the following outcomes:

 

• A growing feeling of uncertainty in the process.

• The need for professional guidance – they are looking for trustworthy sources of support and empowerment upon which they can rely during the process.

• The sense of failure and despair that accompanies any rejection results in a loss of self-confidence, avoidance of new initiatives, as well as an impairment of the chances of being absorbed into a new job.

The 50-plus-non-profit association, specializing in the provision of guidance and consultation to experienced job seekers (ages 40 and over), is the backbone and professional/occupational resource as well as a source of aspiration and hope.

Benefits and strengths of the association:

 

• Access to most job seekers through geographical branches located in major locations across the country.

• Reputation and experience, in promoting employment and integration of the target population in their new positions.

• Team of seasoned professionals, highly committed with high social and cultural sensitivity.

• Extensive experience in the operation of employment projects.

• Experience in the organization and the production of regional employment fairs.

• Possession of all required formal documentation, including proper governance certification and a private placement bureau license. (תעסוקת מבוגרים)
