About JCT
Established in 1969, the Jerusalem College of Technology (JCT) is one of Israel’s most prestigious and unique academic institutions of higher learning with a focus on science and technology. JCT supplies highly skilled, professional graduates to Israel’s and the world’s high-tech and health care industries. In addition, we are the only academic institution committed to providing the highest quality education to diverse segments of Israeli society who would not otherwise have had the opportunity to enter these fields. JCT offers exclusive programs developed specifically for Haredi (ultra-orthodox) and Ethiopian men and women. JCT meets these students’ special needs while providing them the skills and the expertise to compete at the highest echelons in their chosen professions. JCT graduates the highest percentage of women entering the high tech field in Israel.
