These days, Yael Mazuz Harpaz, the daughter of Supreme Court Judge Manny Mazuz, is scheduled to be appointed senior director of vocational training in the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs. This is a temporary appointment until a new director is elected, given that his predecessor, Shuli Eyal, was forced to retire on suspicion of corruption in an office corruption case. 

This is an exceptional appointment because senior appointments are usually made as part of the realization of the minister's authority and policy and it takes place during a transitional period between governments, on the eve of the inauguration of a new government. Because of this, he is seen by many inside the office as an unworthy kidnapper.

Internal correspondence reached by "Israel Today" shows that the appointment was made as part of a broader process of organizational change designed to separate adult and youth training, raising the concern among ministry staff that this is a preliminary step to transfer youth training to the authority of the Ministry of Education. 

In a letter sent by June Abuhtsira, chair of the labor committee in the Ministry of Social Affairs to Mordechai Elisha, who is in charge of the arm, he expresses opposition to the move and demands that it be frozen. "It has been brought to my attention that actions in the field have already been carried out in contravention, one of which is a request for the actual appointment of Ms. Yael Mazuz Harpaz is part of a senior divisional manager, ie senior adult education director (without youth training). "Writes Abouhtsira in a letter sent Sunday." This move indicates the implementation of the organizational structure change in the practical training division, and the determination of rivets. There is concern in the workers' committee that such a move could lead and expedite the move of the youth unit to the Ministry of Education in the future, an experience that was already in the past. " 

Abuchatzira says the new state must wait for the swearing-in of a new government." Even knowing which office we will be working with tomorrow, as well as our inventions on the day of the swearing-in of a new government, it seems at this time that such organizational changes should await the incoming minister and management of the new office. "

In summary, he says he instructed employees not to cooperate with the process," in our opinion only worsen the situation in the department and the office. "

Ministry of labor and Social Affairs, said tag In it: "The issue is not on the agenda, and in any case any future changes that will be made will await the approval of the new minister. The job of the Division of Vocational Training in the Workforce is to meet the demands of the labor market, and to help resolve the acute crisis affecting the employment market. Since the division manager is absent from office, and because of the importance of appointing an administrator immediately, the possibility of these positions being temporarily assigned to the office worker was examined until a new manager was selected in the tender for the position, thereby obtaining approval from the Civil Service Commission.
