Cast your eye over the community development and training projects implemented by World ORT and national ORT organizations since 1960 and you will see a shining example of how a centuries-old tradition has inspired an approach which has benefited millions of people in dozens of countries and from a wide range of ethno-religious backgrounds. The passion with which World ORT believes that the human resource is the most precious of all resources, worthy of intense investment and nurturing, is matched by the professionalism and efficiency with which we have realized our aspiration to give people the skills to fulfill their potential and to preserve or regain their self-worth and self-reliance. The agencies that choose ORT to implement their projects – including the World Bank, UNDP, UNESCO, the Coca-Cola Foundation, USAID and many others – do so not only out of a sense of shared values but also with confidence in our abilities and effectiveness. They know that ORT’s international framework enables us to think globally and act locally, to match expertise from around the world with grass roots knowledge in order to build capacity within communities. Rapidly changing job markets in this era of globalization, combined with the challenges of geo-political shifts and post-emergency reconstruction, mean that the need for what ORT provides has never been greater: after 50 years of operations, our commitment to upholding the dignity of the human spirit has never been stronger and our capability to put that commitment into action is better than ever. Robert Singer Director General and CEO, World ORT May 2011 INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION WORLD ORT INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION CAPABILITY STATEMENT INTRODUCTION The Organization for Educational Resources and Technological Training (ORT) was founded in Tsarist Russia in 1880; it is one of the oldest and largest non-profit, educational and training organizations in the world. ORT manages a network of secondary and industrial schools, technical institutes, junior colleges, teacher training institutions, adult education and business programs with more than 300,000 beneficiaries a year. ORT’s raison d’être is “to help people help themselves“. This is applied throughout the world by each of the capacity building projects implemented by the International Cooperation (IC) Department. Whereas most charities and non-profit organizations in the field of international development primarily target humanitarian and disaster relief efforts, ORT is well-known as a major provider of long-term technical assistance that meets local needs and builds a self-sustainable local management capacity. ORT International Cooperation is one of the most important programs in the ORT global network. Created in 1960 to assist newly emerging and developing nations, ORT International Cooperation has implemented more than 350 projects in 98 countries at the request of international agencies, local communities, host governments, and private enterprises. Approximately 3 million people have benefited from these projects. ORT training programs are designed to meet local needs and are particularly successful in overcoming economic, cultural, and linguistic barriers. ORT works with local, national, regional and international partners. Providing for sustainable economic, social, and cultural growth is the motivating force behind every ORT undertaking. ORT’s international operations are concentrated in sectors where it has earned a reputation INTERNATIONAL for excellence: vocational and technical education; workforce development, institution building/human COOPERATION resources development; NGO institutional building; democracy and governance; agriculture; rural WORLDWIDE OFFICES and urban development; health care; transportation; and the establishment of training programs for globalaid.ort.org NGOs, government ministries, public utilities, and industrial and commercial enterprises. ORT’s basic philosophy of helping others to help themselves is translated into its training objectives, designed to provide individuals with self-reliance through proficiency and income-generating skills. World ORT, United Kingdom Vladimir Dribinskiy A key objective of ORT technical assistance programs is the establishment of a self-sustaining, Chief Program Officer locally based training capacity.

INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION 4 WORLD ORT STRATEGIC APPROACH Over the years, ORT International Cooperation (IC) developed its capabilities based on ORT’s training expertise, and in response to the constantly changing donor environment and sector priorities it subsequently developed projects which included a local capacity building component in order to ensure sustainability. Current IC projects are funded by the following major donors: African Development Bank, World Bank, American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC), Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, Canton and City of Geneva, and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) as well as corporations and foundations such as Hewlett Packard, Exxon Mobil and Open Society Foundations. A significant geographical expansion in the last two decades — following the donors’ focus – was ORT IC’s move into countries of the Former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, whilst continuing its programs in Africa, Latin America and Asia. The USAID-funded Russia Civic Initiatives Project resulted in a partnership between the traditional ORT school program in Moscow and St. Petersburg, and the Washington IC office to provide training to Russian NGOs. Similar synergy resulted from the Hewlett Packard Digital Village projects in conjunction with ORT South Africa, ORT Russia and ORT Ukraine. The 1990s have also seen a strong move into civil society and community development programs, while maintaining traditional IC projects in the fields of human resource development, poverty alleviation, women in development, public sector support, agriculture/forestry, and income generation. ORT has historically focused its efforts on the reintegration of refugees in post-conflict societies, and currently plays an active role in revitalizing civil society through the development and promotion of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), public policy advocacy and citizen participation. sectors AND SUB-sectors Since 1960, ORT International Cooperation has been working with people, developing human capacity on the local and national levels.

  • What Would You Do
    World ORT What Would You Do Case Study Booklet We gratefully acknowledge the contribution of Yaffa Fogel in the development of these materials Practice Case Study: ORT after World War I Case Study ORT was first established in the 1880s in St. Petersburg to help the Jews in the Pale of Settlement improve their economic futures. In the first decades of its existence, ORT created schools, language programs, and certifications, and sent much needed equipment to many small Jewish factories throughout the lands of the Russian empire. With the end of World War I in 1918, however, the Russian empire collapsed and a new government emerged amid massive upheaval. This new government introduce policies to enforce strict controls on all independent Russian organizations working throughout the country. ORT lost most of the lands it had been using for training schools. Their deposits in Russian banks disappeared as well. The local Jews, meanwhile, were living in destroyed cities while the world economy was quickly sinking into the Great Depression. The Russian Jewish community did not have the means to finance ORT, and yet they desperately needed the organization’s resources. ORT was looking less and less likely to survive if it was to remain a Russian entity. If you were ORT, what would you do? How could you survive to help the Jews in the Pale of Settlement? Isolate What are the three most important problems in this case study? 1. Local Jews all over Eastern Europe are desperately in need for ORT’s help. 2. The Russian Empire is broken up and ORT has no autonomy under the new Russian government 3.

    Annual Review 2019 Placing the future in the hands of the next generation Dear all We are delighted to present to you the 2019 edition of the ORT Annual Review. 2019 has been another year of growth for the organization, as we increase the breadth and depth of our activities. This year, students and teachers from our newly aliated schools in Amsterdam, Bucharest and Singapore participated for the first time in our range of summer schools and educator seminars. As they return home to share their experiences, hundreds more people are benefitting from our expanded network. Our schools, colleges and universities across the world are continuing to provide a quality education to students of all ages, giving them not only the tools to build a successful career, but also the nurturing environment for them to grow as people and as future community leaders. Our after-school activities, from the YOUniversity Centers of Excellence, to our Taub Young Entrepreneurship Program to our Harmatz Awards for Social Responsibility – to name but three – are providing our students with a forum in which to explore wider interests and to develop soft skills that will help them to thrive in all walks of life. Meanwhile, continued improvements in our reporting to donors, our marketing and our communications, are helping to increase our visibility. This in turn promises to increase opportunities for funding and operational partnerships in the future. As we enter an auspicious year for ORT and prepare for the celebrations to mark our 140th anniversary, we look forward to having the opportunity to reflect on ORT’s great past and present, and to plan for a successful future.
