The money most people miss

The retraining voucher: up to NIS 7,000

The Ministry of Aliyah and Integration occupational voucher covers up to 80% of an approved retraining course, capped at about NIS 7,000, for olim within their first 10 years. You pay the remaining 20%, and the course must be one the Employment Service recognises as in demand.
