YU Global Revolutionizes High School Education with Groundbreaking Partnership
In partnership with Hillel Yeshiva High School of Ocean Township, New Jersey, YU Global is transforming high school education by offering cutting-edge online professional-grade paralegal and financial training programs to students. Typically reserved for college-level education, these certificate programs will equip students with immediate, marketable skills for today’s competitive job market allowing them to secure summer internships and open doors previously unavailable to high school graduates.
"We're not just preparing students for college; we're preparing them for life," says Beth Chesir Director of Marketing and Enrollment at YU Global. "This program bridges the gap between traditional high school education and the real-world skills employers demand."
This new partnership leverages YU Global's world-class online education platform and industry connections with Hillel Yeshiva High School's commitment to academic excellence. YU Global is poised to expand this revolutionary program to other forward-thinking high schools across the country, potentially reshaping the landscape of secondary education in America.
YU Global Expands its Innovative Approach to Preparing Jewish Leaders
YU Global, in partnership with the Chief Rabbi of England Sir Ephraim Mirvis, is enriching Judaism globally through the Shalem Fellowship, combining online learning with traditional Torah study to empower future Jewish leaders worldwide. The Fellowship will continue to feature teaching by prominent London Rabbis, alongside visiting scholars from Yeshiva University faculty.
“This program showcases YU Global’s innovative approach,” said Rabbi Mirvis. “We’re excited to offer our scholars the chance to explore Judaism through a global lens, guided by leading voices. This fellowship allows students to deepen their Jewish knowledge while continuing their education within a flexible, global framework.”
YU Global Extends its Educational Reach
YU Global is proud to announce the launch of "The Shluchim's Tool Box: Communication and counseling.” This innovative course equips Chabad emissaries with essential skills to identify and address mental health issues that people may experience due to the stresses of modern living. The curriculum uniquely weaves together the timeless teachings and wisdom of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, zt'l, with contemporary intervention and referral techniques. Through this course, Shluchim develop a comprehensive toolbox of responses, enabling them to provide compassionate support and guidance to those in need.
The Hillel High School partnership and similar endeavors with the Chief Rabbi of England and Chabad Shluchim reinforce YU Global’s pioneer and leadership position to revolutionize education, meeting learners at their skill level, and providing them with the learning experience they deserve.
“YU Global is looking forward to reshaping the landscape of education with other forward-thinking institutions, meeting the standards of quality familiar to Yeshiva University,” said Dr. Wozniak.
