In cooperation with the United States Consulate in Israel, the Jerusalem Chareidi (Michlalah) College is offering English to assist students in advancing in the workplace. The subsidized English classes are geared to permit students to advance in their academic studies, funded in part by the US government as efforts continue to provide a framework for chareidim seeking to enter the workplace.
For many or most chareidim in Eretz Yisrael, they hit a stone wall as they try to obtain an academic degree due to their inability to function at the most minimal level in English.
The instructors are from the Open University system, but they have been prepped to their new environment, the chareidi students. For many, successful completion of this course may be the key required to unlock a door to obtaining an academic degree.
A study conducted in Israel reveals that over 1 billion NIS is spent annually towards teaching Israelis a foreign language. 80% of these students are interested in learning English. Interest in English has increased 25% in Israel over recent years and the experts predict this number will only continue climbing with today?s realities vis-?-vis the international business language, internet and other factors.
College officials are proud to be part of this revolution, training the growing number of chareidim who are seeking entry to the business world towards earning a parnasa with dignity.
