3. Definition- How create a JE? • Definition of a Junior-Enterprise: • It is an association which works nearly as an enterprise. It is composed only by Gvahim Olim. • The different services that can offer a JE depend on the Olim’s qualifications. • The aim of the company is to make business with some structures (enterprises, public organizations, creators of businesses…) and in addition to learn, exchange and live a first professional experience in Israel. • It will help qualified Gvahim Olim from around the world from realizing their professional aspirations in Israel and provide them with a strong social anchor for a successful alyah.
