About the ALT Vision
The Academy of Life Training (ALT) is the ideal environment for developing life skills while growing from a great internship in Israel. With locations in Jerusalem and also in the Tel Aviv area, students work in the morning at top internships in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem and then participate in small interactive discussion groups in the afternoon. Evenings are generally free time.
The ALT staff show students how to analyze and develop themselves in three central areas: social life, spiritual life, and professional life. Students will see the practical benefits that Jewish Wisdom has to offer with regards to establishing a healthy outlook and life balance. Find yourself… before you find a job!
All 2-month programs are run in partnership with Onward Israel. There are separate 2-month women sessions and men sessions in both Tel Aviv and in Jerusalem during the summer, whereas in the winter we only have 2-month Jerusalem sessions. We are starting a 4-month Spring session for men and women in Spring 2017. Each session is expected to have a small-group feel.

Sample Life Skill Topics
The Academy of Life Training aims to equip our students with the knowledge and know-how to develop in three core areas of their life: professional development, social life/relationships, spiritual development. The topics which will be covered in learning sessions are specifically chosen due to their relevance to the average young adult nearing the transition from academia into the work world.

Touring & Awesome Trips!
We assume that most of our participants have done Birthright trips or visited Israel as a tourist. Our trips focus on exposing our students to parts of Israel the average tourist doesn’t get to see.
In addition to fun activities & beautiful hikes, we will try to show you the beauty of the Land of Israel and her inhabitants.
