Israel National Defense College Alumni Association

The Israel National Defense College Alumni Association is a non-profit organization, aiming to support and contribute to the national security of the State of Israel, and unites the thousand INDC graduates from its 37 years of existence.

The Israel National Defense College is the most senior training institution in the government-public sector in Israel and is designated, according to a 1962 government decision, to educate the chain of senior commanders and executives in the public sector in Israel on the variety of national defense issues, with an emphasis on the shaping, planning and steering of foreign and defense policies.

The College is similar in its methods and student body composition to parallel institutions around the world.  Each year, between 30 and 40 key position-holders in the security and governmental service are trained here, students who have an accomplished work record and promotion potential to lead the public systems in Israel. The students come from the Ministries of Defense, Interior, Foreign Affairs, Justice, Finance, Labor and Welfare, Industry and Environment. Since 2004, the program, like many parallel institutions around the world, became an international program which includes a handful of senior officials from governments and security systems of foreign countries every year.

The thousand graduates of the Israel National Defense College have served, or are serving, in a wide variety of governmental, public, command and business positions in the heart of the centers of influence and decision making in the State of Israel. Some of those who are retired from their public positions continue to take an active role and contribute to the national security of the State of Israel by manning central positions in the municipal sector, industry and business, formal and informal education, NGOs, and the government.
