Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק הכרה אזרחית בהכשרות צבאיות (תיקון - הכרה בניסיון פיקודי כניסיון ניהולי)

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal amends the Civilian Recognition of Military Training Law of 2016. It states that a combat officer who acquired command experience during service in the IDF will be recognized as having acquired management experience. This provision is based on the fact that IDF officers accumulate qualitative and quantitative experience during their service, and also take courses in personnel management, decision-making and situation analysis. The aim of the proposal is for the public and semi-public sector to recognize this experience as relevant to the tenders they publish.
