Olim Beyahad

Olim Beyahad was founded in 2007 by Adv. Yifat Ovadia and Adva Hadar with the mission to enable Ethiopian Israeli university graduates to integrate in suitable positions in the Israeli workforce.

Throughout the years, we have expanded our activities in order to realize our vision.

Changing the perceptions and negative attitude concerning Ethiopian Israelis in Israeli society

 

In order to realize our mission, to bring about a conscious change in Israeli society in general and policy makers in particular,

we offer various activities. 

 

In 2023 Ethiopian Israelis still struggle with open and hidden discrimination in various areas of life that prevent them from fulfilling their ambitions for individual, professional and economic development. Although there has been a relative change in different fields of the community, according to data, that there are still significant gaps in education, higher education,

employment and the media.

Changing Society’s Perceptions of Ethiopian Israelis by the Media

This initiative recognizes the media’s role in shaping and changing society’s perceptions of Ethiopian Israelis by integrating them in positive contexts and in new jobs

Graduates’ Forum

We manage a forum of program graduates that is the future of our organization and a central means to achieving our mission. It provides opportunities for continued personal and professional advancement and volunteering.

Forming Partnerships

We form partnerships with employers and volunteers of leading organizations and institutions that serve as mentors and lecturers and play significant roles in promoting the process of integration of Ethiopian Israelis into executive positions in the Israel’s public sector, thus enriching and strengthening the diversity index of organizations. We work with the public sector to bring about significant change and enable our participants to serve as a public voice for the Ethiopian Israeli sector and become part of the decision-making processes. We also collaborate with various non-profit and third-sector organizations.

Training Development

We offer individual and group development programs to talented Ethiopian Israeli youth and university students with potential to excel, promote their economic and professional development, provide executive training programs for suitably employed Ethiopian Israeli university graduates and instill skills to advance to management positions.
