Yeshiva University's YU Global has announced new partnerships aimed at enhancing online learning experiences and providing tools for career success. On August 28, YU Global revealed its collaboration with Hillel Yeshiva High School and strengthened ties with the Chief Rabbi of England and Chabad Shluchim. These initiatives highlight YU Global's commitment to integrating advanced educational technology with traditional wisdom, serving diverse communities across various spheres.

Launched in 2023, YU Global is the online education division of Yeshiva University, specializing in developing high-quality, skills-based courses using Artificial Intelligence technology. The platform offers individual certificate programs and customized corporate training solutions designed to help learners thrive in a dynamic job market.

Danielle Wozniak, Vice President for Global Initiatives and Business Strategies at Yeshiva University, stated: “YU Global has always aimed to create advanced learning opportunities that benefit communities across the world, meeting learners at all stages of their lives. These partnerships are a testament to our university’s leadership in innovative, online and hybrid education.”

In partnership with Hillel Yeshiva High School of Ocean Township, New Jersey, YU Global is offering professional-grade paralegal and financial training programs to high school students. Beth Chesir, Director of Marketing and Enrollment at YU Global, commented: "We're not just preparing students for college; we're preparing them for life."

YU Global also collaborates with the Chief Rabbi of England Sir Ephraim Mirvis through the Shalem Fellowship. This program combines online learning with traditional Torah study to empower future Jewish leaders worldwide. Rabbi Mirvis noted: “We’re excited to offer our scholars the chance to explore Judaism through a global lens.”

Additionally, YU Global has launched "The Shluchim's Tool Box: Communication and Counseling," a course designed to equip Chabad emissaries with skills to address mental health issues using teachings from Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson alongside contemporary techniques.

These partnerships reinforce YU Global’s position as a leader in innovative education. Dr. Wozniak expressed optimism about future collaborations: “YU Global is looking forward to reshaping the landscape of education with other forward-thinking institutions.”
