TRAINING SUPPORT PROGRAM

The Manpower Training Department in the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor actively assists industrial companies to train workers in the different disciplines and professions as required by the company.

The support program is offered via three possible programs:

1. "Plant Class" whereby the department will support the opening of a class numbering at least 18 to train the workers in the specific skills as required by the company. The main condition being that the company obligates itself to employ at least 50% of the class graduates.

2. "Training and Placement Class". This program is intended for employers and institutions that wish to train workers in specific disciplines and professions. The company/institution commits itself to employ at least 50% of the class graduates within 6 months of the completion of the course.

The Department will finance the entire cost of running these classes.

3. "Internal Plant Training". This program assists employers who wish to have an on-the-job training project in their plant.

The Department will assist by paying 1,100 – 1,500 NIS (~$250 - $350) per worker in this program.
