immigrants (‘Olim’) find employment and live with
dignity in Israel.

the requirements of the
Registry of Amutot at the
Ministry of Justice.
The Ministry supervises our
operations and has
extended its annual
certification of “Nihul Takin”
(“Correct Administration”)
since our founding in 2003.
ALO includes over 40
volunteers and
only 5 staff workers.
who uses our
services?
Alternativa LaOleh offers its services to every ‘Ole’, from
any place.Traditionally the Olim we helped

The immigrant clicks on ALO’s website and chooses one or several jobs that are of interest.
The immigrant fills in relevant information regarding education and experience.
ALO contacts the immigrant for a personal interview. ALO also reviews, edits and
translates the immigrant’s resume when necessary.
ALO coordinates a contact between the potential employer and the immigrant. In
parallel, ALO helps the immigrant prepare for the job interview.
Following the interview, ALO remains in contact with the immigrant to ensure all is well, and to
help when needed.
