Israel’s Minister of Jerusalem Affairs and National Projects Rabbi Rafi Peretz (Jewish Home) on Tuesday visited the Jerusalem College of Technology (JCT) and the site for its forthcoming Tal Campus for Women: a 30,000-square-foot (2,787.1-square-meter) campus that is poised to become one of Jerusalem’s most important capital projects over the next five years.
The new Tal Campus is slated as the permanent home for up to 3,000 of JCT’s female students in nursing, computer science, electro-optics, industrial engineering, accounting, and management. The campus will provide increased opportunities for Religious Zionist, haredi, and Ethiopian women to pursue higher education and attain quality employment in Jerusalem’s high-tech industries. The project is part of the vision JCT shares with the Israeli government to strengthen Jerusalem as Israel’s academic capital, enabling members of all sectors to integrate into the workforce, contribute to its economy, and become highly skilled and professional leaders of Israel’s rapidly advancing technology, science, and health fields.
