THE CENTER FOR EMPLOYMENT ORIENTATION AND LIAISON WITH INDUSTRY

The top priority for Ashkelon Academic College’s Center for Employment Orientation and Liaison with Industry is to orient students and graduates towards employment opportunities. The center invests in developing and maintaining liaison with diverse employers.

“Spotlight” days are one of the center’s activities, designed to expose students and graduates to diverse employers in the Israeli job market, including the Security Service (‘Shabak’), Israel Police Force, Jewish Agency, and more. An annual employment fair brings dozens of Israeli employers to our students and graduates, among them Elta Security Systems, The Jewish Agency, hi-tech companies, banks, private businesses, government organizations, and more.

As part of AAC’s policy directed at helping students and graduates find employment, the fair has become an ongoing tradition.
