Bridging higher education and the evolving world of employment
The Edmond de Rothschild Bridge for Higher Education and Employment was established by the Edmond de Rothschild Foundation (Israel) with the goal of increasing the rate of young adults, with emphasis on diverse populations, who successfully integrate into career paths aligned with their education, skills, and personal aspirations for social mobility and personal development. It works to promote policy, develop infrastructures needed for the incorporation of employability into academia, and enhance the effectiveness of actions in this field.
