Shavot Plus – Vocational Guidance with a Different Approach
The "Shvim Plus" guidance centers offer a unique way to integrate into the world of work for people dealing with mental challenges - a way that is based on trust, personal choice, and continuous professional guidance.
Unlike traditional vocational rehabilitation frameworks, here we don't start from a predetermined template. We believe that every person has the right path for them – and our job is to help you find it, build it, and succeed in walking it.
What underlies our approach?
At "Shavim Plus" we operate according to two central and innovative models, which shape the entire support process:
The employment process is not dictated to you – but is built together with you.
We see you as a full partner, understanding that you bring with you life experience, skills, desires, and aspirations.
The professional team provides knowledge, tools, and guidance – but choices are made through open dialogue, at eye level, and in true cooperation.
Shared decision-making
Instead of moving between different professionals, each participant is accompanied by one professional throughout the entire process – from entering the center to integrating into the job.
This guidance allows for the creation of a meaningful personal connection, process continuity, a sense of security, and personalized progress – both professionally and emotionally.
Personal support from end to end
Active and future branches

Participation is flexible, and the choice is yours – depending on what is right for you at each stage of the process.

What does the process look like in practice?
The process at "SHAVIM Plus" combines practical experience with personal and professional development:
✔ Practical work as part of the training process
✔ Personal support and ongoing guidance
✔ Customized workshops and trainings
✔ Exposure to a variety of fields of practice
The goal is not just to find a job – but to understand which job is truly right for you, and to build the path there precisely and safely.
The name "SHAVIM" expresses our worldview:
Confidence in your abilities, respect for your path, and true partnership in the process.
From eye-level dialogue and tailored professional guidance - progress is built that is not only professional, but also personal and meaningful.
Shavim=Equal – not just in name
Even after integration into work in the free market, the support does not end.
Program participants continue to receive support through the organization's placement and support system, with the aim of strengthening stability, perseverance, and progress at work.
We continue with you even after
"Shavim Plus" is not only a career guidance center, but a space that enables personal growth.
Through a professional, supportive and inclusive process, a sense of competence, self-confidence and belief in the ability to progress are built.
The personal connection with the mentor, together with the work in groups, create a meaningful process experience - one that lasts over time.
Much beyond training – strengthening the personal path
Success stories

הסדנה והליווי האישי מאוד תרם לי זה נתן לי הרבה ביטחון וכלים מעשיים לתהליך חיפוש העבודה. למדתי איך להציג את עצמי בצורה טובה יותר, להתכונן לראיונות ולהאמין ביכולות שלי. הליווי של מתאמת התעסוקה היה מקצועי, סבלני ומעודד, ותמיד הרגשתי שיש לי למי לפנות. אני מאוד מודה לצוות עמותת שווים על התמיכה, ההקשבה וההשקעה, וממליצה בחום לכל מי שנמצא בתהליך של חיפוש עבודה.
