Goals
• To promote and empower underprivileged children, to enrich their world and expand their scope of dreams.
•To enable citizens to contribute to education, and to become familiar with other faces of society.
•To refresh the education system and promote collegiality between schools and business and public sector organizations.

The Need
• Underprivileged children are not exposed to the range of educational stimuli and worlds of content to which other children are often exposed, and at times do not feel an integral part of society;
• Professionals from the business and public sectors constitute a great source of knowledge and can serve as inspirational role models, but generally do not have the time or the platform to volunteer and give of themselves in a meaningful and systematic way.

The Solution
A professional framework that efficiently and effectively channels the knowledge, motivation and volunteer potential of the busy career professionals, to empower underprivileged children.

The Method
• Groups of employees from business corporations and public institutions teach enrichment courses in their fields of expertise, in schools that serve underprivileged children;
• The volunteers work in rotation, and as such, can together create a lasting and meaningful impact, without any of them individually needing to invest a significant amount of time;
• The experienced "Shiur Acher" team provides the professional, pedagogical and logistical framework, including engaging and training volunteers, locating schools, providing ongoing support and curriculum development.

JDC formed the TEVET Employment Initiative with the Israeli government and the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation in 2005 to help the chronically unemployed lift themselves out of poverty and dependency by finding and keeping gainful work.
While Israel’s unemployment rates are low, these figures do not account for those who are living permanently outside the workforce: vulnerable groups such as young adults who have grown up in poverty or in residential schools, immigrants, people with disabilities, the ultra-Orthodox (Haredim), and Israeli Arabs. The Mentoring program imparts the skills necessary to promote employability among vulnerable Israelis.

Our mission: To connect and empower the next generation of female leaders in Cloud EMEA!

Mentoring is essentially about helping people to develop more effectively. It is a
relationship designed to build confidence and support the mentee so they are able
to take control of their own development and work.
Mentoring is not the same as training, teaching or coaching, and a mentor doesn’t
need to be a qualified trainer or an expert in the role the mentee carries out.
They need to be able to listen and ask questions that will challenge the mentee to
identify the course of action they need to take in regards to their own development.
The following definition provides a useful insight:
"..off-line help by one person to another in making significant transactions in knowledge,
working or thinking.." Show less
