Summer is approaching, and with it comes the opportunity for young people to go out to work, earn money, and start their journey into the world of work.
The world of work is not an easy place, and we all know this firsthand, but it is also a place where we can develop independence, responsibility, and maturity.
To help our students successfully enter the workforce, we are pleased to share with you a unique app for young people, developed by the Working and Studying Youth Organization, called "Work+.".
The app is designed for all young people working in Israel, and its purpose is to protect and guide them in the world of work.
Young people will be able to find job openings in their area, learn about their rights, and track their work hours, and the app will calculate their pay and all the benefits they're entitled to.
We have created a social studies lesson for you that will help prepare students for the summer, discuss their rights and obligations when entering the workforce, and try out the app together.
