Just before the change of governments, Economy Minister Orna Barbiei chose yesterday (Saturday) to make her farewell visit to the “Future” college in Haifa. The minister and Nitzan Mamrod, the director of the vocational training department, were hosted by the CEO of the Atid Group, Eyal Kramer, along with senior executives of the chain, who gave her a tour of the various departments in the college, including control and automation, electricity, automobiles, welding, household appliances, and more.
During the visit, Barbiei said: “In the last year, we made technological education a priority. I see great importance in the transparency of the data and we will do as much as we can to continue this transparency so that it will be a tool for decision-making. There are budgets that are important to promote, there are things that need to be examined and changed, and there is much more that needs to be done.” I hope that the next minister who takes office will indeed advance the reforms I led in engineering studies and vocational training and recognize the importance of vocational and technological education as a strategic goal for advancing the labor market and the Israeli economy.”

During the visit, the Minister received a comprehensive review from Kramer who told about the network’s great achievements in training and retraining the engineers and discussed with her the many challenges that still remain in the field. The visit was concluded by a short ceremony in which Sara was awarded a special certificate of appreciation from the “Atid” network for her contribution to technological education in Israel.
Eyal Kramer, CEO of the Atid network: “We thank Sara who devoted large parts of her term to the promotion of technological education in Israel, and to the senior officials of the ministry who led extensive and important reforms that made a necessary change in the field in Israel. Even today there are thousands of engineers missing in the economy, and we are full of hope that the next government will also know how to continue the work – and carry out additional necessary reforms that are committed to meeting the previous commitments that resulted in huge investments on our part in the field.”
