Why JInternship

jInternship starts with the premise that you want to come to Israel for two reasons:

1.  To land a great international internship.
2.  Because you’re Jewish. You are not choosing to go to Brussels, London or Tokyo; you are choosing to go to Israel.

Honestly speaking, the Jewish connection you feel while in Israel is one of the main reasons you are considering spending a significant amount of time in there.  jInternship embraces this desire to plug-in Jewishly and offers you a balanced program that features an internship in your field at a top-Israeli company, along with touring and relevant and empowering classes on Judaism at a level that makes sense for you.

Living in Israel

This is not your birthright trip; it’s not Israel from the tourist’s perspective. In the workplace, you’ll work side-by-side with Israelis forming authentic relationships and friendships that are not typically available to tourists. You’ll live in a regular Israeli neighborhood, not in a hotel. You can take the light-rail to work like an Israeli, not be shuttled around on touring bus. Also, most Learning Programs feature the kind of touring activities that are off the beaten path so you’ll have ample time to explore Israel.

The Internship

We offer over 800 internships in nearly every industry. Our host companies include niche fields like Oceanography and Sports Agents, to fortune 500 companies like Deloitte and the Waldorf Astoria. At your internship you will typically work at least 30 hours per week during your internship component. Internship tasks vary based on the industry and nature of the work environment, but you can typically expect to receive a project that you will see through from beginning to end. Most Israeli companies treat their interns like one of the staff from day one so you can expect to attend meetings and be given real responsibilities. You’ll soon see that Israelis and their “sandals and blue jeans – let’s get it done attitude” translates into a great professional experience!
