Hybrid Programs

Onward Israel Hybrid programs offer young adults the best of both worlds - the opportunity to build their resume in a wide variety of companies, organizations and institutions in Israel, and the flexibility to continue their internship remotely from the comfort of their own home, dorm, apartment or anywhere! Participants will spend part of the program interning in Israel, immersing themselves in Israeli culture, and the other part of the program working with their employer remotely. https://onwardisrael.mystagingwebsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/ujia-scaled.jpg

jInternship

Our programs in partnership with Jinternship combine living and interning in Israel with Jewish learning. This is the ideal environment for gaining critical skills in three central areas of life: social, professional, and spiritual life. https://onwardisrael.mystagingwebsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/jinternshipsmall.jpg

Theme Based Programs

For North American applicants who do not live or study in an Onward Israel partner community, Theme Based programs offer unique internship opportunities to young adults aged 19-27 from around the globe. Each program places participants in cohorts with other like-minded individuals which creates a completely unique opportunity to network and engage with peers in different sectors of a career field. Work and live in Israel while exploring what makes Israel a global influence in the field of your interest. https://onwardisrael.mystagingwebsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/TBsmall.jpg
