Our Vision

Helping underserved college graduates from Israel’s underserved communities fulfill their career potential.

Why Paving Futures?

Israel is home to thousands of young college graduates who find it increasingly challenging to develop careers that put to use their education, skillsets, and personal capabilities. At Paving Futures, we help participants cope with personal challenges and their lack of a professional network. Creating a better future for these young college graduates is not only crucial to their sense of personal fulfillment, it also strengthens Israel’s socio-economic resilience.

About the program

Paving Futures, Educating for Excellence’s employment program, was established to help young college graduates from Israel’s underserved communities integrate into the workforce and develop a career that puts to use their education and personal capabilities.  

 

Their abilities are top notch, their potential is high, and their will to succeed is great. But economic hardship, low self-confidence, knowledge and skill gaps, and a lack of personal role models and a professional network hinder the progress of many young college graduates.

Our program aims to break the glass ceiling and help these talented college graduates fulfill their potential.

 

Paving Futures was established by elite IDF unit alumni who currently serve in leading business positions, and who serve as mentors during the program and long after.  Program partners include businesses and youth centers, which are equally dedicated to changing these young college graduates’ lives.

 

In 2023, Paving Futures expanded and established Ind’Image اندماج, an employment program that aims to fulfill the career potential of college graduates from Israel’s Arab sector. Based on the Paving Futures curriculum, Ind’Image اندماج addresses the needs of college graduates who have successfully completed their studies yet struggle to find a professional position that fits their skills and education.

The program includes:

Program Partners

Elite IDF Unit Alumni Associations

Businesses

Youth Centers
