About the Rehabilitation Center in Netanya
The center in Netanya was established in 1987. It initially operated as a tissue paper manufacturing plant, and later changed its designation to an occupational rehabilitation framework. Today, the center operates three occupational training tracks, sheltered employment, transitional employment, and supported employment, with an emphasis on personal guidance. In 2025, the center moved to its new home in the Netanya industrial zone.
Rehabilitation and employment pathways
The center operates three tracks: sheltered employment, transitional employment, and supported employment. Combining the tracks allows the process to be tailored to personal abilities, needs, and goals, from experience in a supportive framework to preparation for broader integration into the world of work.
