Why Us

Career Impact

Because you'll leverage your existing knowledge & skills and acquire new tools to help you handle emerging business trends in global markets.

The goal of the Jerusalem School of Business Administration is to develop the next generation of business leaders. To this end, we hire excellent lecturers who also teach at other top institutions - including Johns Hopkins University - our International StartUp 360° MBA and the Med-Tech Innovation MBA students take part in internships at top companies, and they get the opportunity to pitch to VCs looking to invest in businesses with true potential. These unique and invaluable experiences stand our graduates in good stead to find excellent jobs and succeed as entrepreneurs in their own right. Indeed, since the program was launched in 2015, dozens of our graduates have been recruited to key positions in companies such as Yeda, Evogene, Alpha Tau Medical, etc.

Mentorship

Our highly successful mentorship program gives students the opportunity to be mentored by senior alumni of the Business School who have gone on to hold senior positions in industry or the public sector.

All our mentors are happy to share the benefit of their experience to help you, through networking, development of soft skills, introductions to companies and open positions, as well as advising on specific issues you may have in the early stages of your professional path.

Each mentor is assigned up to five ‘mentees’, and meets with them every month or two throughout the year, both in a group and individually.  These meetings may take a variety of forms, from discussions about interpersonal relationships at work, to tours of high-tech companies - depending on the nature of the group and the mentor themselves.

To ensure that students are paired with the mentor best suited to them and their areas of interest, there is an online application process, followed by a telephone interview.
