History and Mission

The Jerusalem College of Technology (JCT) was founded in 1969 and is today one of Israel’s major academic institutions with over 4500 students on three campuses - Lev, Tal and Lustig. It is fully accredited by Israel’s Council of Higher Education and specializes in high-tech engineering, industrial management and life and health sciences combined with a Jewish studies program. JCT’s mission is to produce leaders who are strongly committed to Israel, Jewish values, to our People and to mankind.

JCT and its Role in Society

In addition to educating Israel’s most academically qualified students, JCT also enables diverse segments of society to become productive members of Israel's workforce, including many who would otherwise not have the opportunity to pursue academic studies. Over 24% of our students come from the periphery and 20% are new immigrants. Our "Education for Ethiopians" with 80 students (including 40 women) and 181 graduates and the Haredi (Ultra-Orthodox) programs with 2,000 students, provides customized remedial training, enabling adults with only a grade-school education to become college-ready in 16 months. Advanced engineering programs for women are another example of JCT’s unique academic offerings.

JCT and the Israeli Economy

R&D is a critical part of JCT and has led to major advances in fields ranging from cyber security to medical technology and driving safety. The College plays a leading role in developing Israel's overall economic infrastructure, and that of Jerusalem in particular. JCT alumni and faculty have established over 100 hi-tech companies, including some of Jerusalem’s most successful start-ups.

The Future of JCT

The Jerusalem College of Technology is committed to Israel’s continued growth and expansion, by providing solutions to Israel’s academic, economic and social needs.
