A thriving Negev and Galilee depend on meaningful work and employers who can find the people they need. Jewish National Fund-USA's Lauder Employment Centers in Be'er Sheva and Akko connect job seekers, businesses, and organizations so more families can build their futures in Israel's North and South.

  • Connecting People with Opportunity

    The centers connect job seekers with businesses through personalized career counseling, vocational training, and regional job fairs. Serving thousands of residents across the Negev and Galilee, the initiative helps families build sustainable careers and strengthens the economic fabric of Israel’s frontier communities.

  • Helping Communities Rebuild

    Returning evacuees receive support to reenter the workforce or find new opportunities, while small businesses affected by October 7 can access workshops and consultations. The From Battlefield to Career program also helps IDF reservists identify their strengths and reconnect with meaningful civilian employment.
