Olim Together - (Immigrants Together) was founded in 2006 to address the absorption difficulties and some of the problems common to the Ethiopian Israeli population.  Unemployment in the Ethiopian community, particularly among graduates, is extremely high with 85% either working in menial jobs or being out of work altogether. Decreasing the unemployment rate among Ethiopian Israeli university graduates and enabling them to hold respectable jobs, will give them a second chance at successful and permanent absorption into society. The programme helps individuals in finding employment that suits their academic education, talents, and abilities. Each graduate participates in an English language course, learns job search and interview skills, has his own mentor and is introduced to potential employers. Olim Together has helped 150 people find and keep suitable jobs.
