I started my dream at Bramson ORT College!

"My name is Lu. I am 39 years old with two kids and my lovely wife. I chose to pursue my goal last year and enrolled at Bramson ORT College.

I am a Traditional Chinese Acupuncturist. I use acupuncture and massage techniques to help patients with pain and other symptoms. As my father was an Urologist and Surgeon, I always knew there would be better results if patients could receive a combination treatment of western medicine with eastern traditional medicine. My goal is to become a Physician Assistant and Bramson ORT College was the start of my dream. The Medical Assistant Program is an affordable alternative to entering directly into a four-year PA Program. I chose the Medical Assistant Program at Bramson ORT College as it has courses that match the prerequisite courses for the PA Program.

With the help from Bramson ORT’s friendly Admissions Staff and the Financial Aid Department, the enrollment went smoothly. The flexible class schedule suits my need to work and take care of my family. The engaging professors, small class size, and supportive classroom and lab environment make the study efficient and fun.

I finished my internship two weeks ago. The clinic that I interned at hired me upon completion. The doctor was so satisfied with my knowledge and the advanced skills that I acquired at Bramson ORT College. Moreover, I successfully transferred most of the course credits to CUNY York College's Physician Assistant Program.

It is good to have a dream. Don’t stop there, go for it! Believe in yourself and dreams will come true!"

Bramson ORT College Taught Me the Skills and Knowledge Required to Make it in The Gaming Industry!

"My name is Adam Alicea and I graduated with an Associate Degree in Game Design at Bramson ORT College. Before I started my education at Bramson ORT College, I was working at an uneventful security job. I knew I didn’t want to do this for the rest of my life and I had a desire to obtain a career relating to the art field. At the time, I wasn’t sure what my options were. I had dropped out of high school, which put me at a major disadvantage as a workforce candidate. A friend told me about Bramson ORT College’s GED Program. I learned that you could obtain your GED while earning college credit at the same time. I immediately jumped onto this opportunity and enrolled at Bramson ORT College. This single decision impacted my future.

I enrolled as a Game Design and Programming major. I learned about Game Design starting from the basic principles to the intermediate concepts. This unique program introduces students to all types of design aspects from developing characters and understanding how they work, to understanding the business aspects and developing good stories for games. The Game Design Associate Degree Program also introduces you to intermediate aspects of programming for game and character development. I was introduced to Autodesk Maya, an industry software application used for 3D animation, 3D modeling, simulation, visual effects, rendering, and compositing. With Maya, I learned how to develop 3D models for games and animations. In my first few classes, I realized that I wanted to design characters for video games and become a successful Game Designer.

During my studies, Bramson ORT College’s Career Services Department helped me obtain an internship as a Game Tester for Power Head Games. As a game tester, I had to document any issues or errors in video games and send these reports to the Game Developers. This role is very important because it involves all the mechanics of a game, such as the art, sound, hardware, and software. Without these aspects, the game cannot be completed. The whole process of creating a game from start to finish is amazing and challenging. Everyone I worked with had strict deadlines, and we had to finish our duties in a small amount of time. I witnessed how hard everyone had to work to finish completing the game, and I pushed myself to do the best job possible. I received an A following the completion of my internship.

I came to the realization that what I learned was more important than receiving a good grade. I learned something that I could take with me in any situation. It was the idea and understanding that through any situation there will always be a struggle. There will always be some type of frustration or letdown or days when you feel like quitting. But through your struggles, you end up building something without realizing it. This is called character. Character can be a strength that takes on any situation. Sometimes knowing or not knowing what is really involved and building a strong character is a tool that will help you to grow as a better person for the rest of your life! Bramson ORT College taught me the skills and knowledge required to make it in the gaming industry! I am glad that I found my path at Bramson ORT!

Bramson ORT led me to a Golden Path!

"Why did I become a college student? After being employed at my former job for a decade, I was laid off. I was hurt, scared, and confused, and I didn’t know how I would be able to survive without a steady income.

It has always been a dream of mine to further my education. Education has always been, and remains, one of the key values in my family. I wanted to convey the importance of education to my children, without being a hypocrite. Though I would be receiving unemployment benefits, I knew this would give me the opportunity pursue my long time dream of obtaining a college degree. What better way to set an example for my family than to show them that I could earn a college degree while being a mother, babysitter, and household manager? Yes, women wrote the book on multitasking! I knew that pursuing a college degree would be a challenge, and that it would take a lot of hard work, but I believed in myself!

I began researching two-year colleges and learned about Bramson ORT College. The

small class sizes, diverse student body, and hands-on training caught my attention. Having been out of school for a long period of time, I knew I would need some encouragement and individualized help from my instructors. Their support was wonderful and gave me the positive boost I needed.

I enrolled in the Medical Assistant Associate Degree Program at Bramson ORT College. I knew that because of the tremendous growth in the health service industry, I would have a better chance of being employed in this field. In less than two years, I landed my dream job as a Medical Assistant!

Through this life changing experience, I’ve learned that you should always aspire to achieve your goals, no matter what obstacles may get in your way. Never stop believing in yourself. With perseverance and hard work, “YOU” can make it happen! If you believe in your dreams and work hard towards your goals, doors will open up in ways you’d never have imagined. I believed, achieved, and succeeded, and you can too!"

Why Choose Bramson ORT College? Hear What Our Top Graduates Are Saying!

Scott McIntosh graduated from the Renewable Energy Program with Honors. During the recent 2013 Bramson ORT College Graduation Ceremony, he shared his great Bramson ORT experience - READ BELOW

My classmates and I are very grateful for our talented instructors and advisors, whose caring, and constant dedication have been instrumental to our success here. I am personally thankful, for having the opportunity to study under Professor John Howell, his advice, along with his extensive knowledge, has inspired me to broaden my horizons. And then, there is our Zoya, her guidance and enthusiasm, were priceless to me. Our problems were always important to her, and her inner light could brighten up anyone’s day.

We also owe a debt of gratitude to our school, Bramson ORT College. Bramson is member of the “World ORT” organization. ORT was founded in Russia in the year 1880, with the noble mission, to provide much needed technical knowledge and skill, to members of the Russian Jewish community. Today, over 130 years later, ORT’s founding purpose is still being realized, along with some significant advancements. ORT schools, such as ours, have opened their doors to the entire world community. Over the years, they have promoted education and training to all who are willing to learn in more than 100 countries. You can clearly see the proof of that here today, by the great variety of faces in our graduating class.

Graduates, I know that many of you feel as fortunate as I do today. Virtually every one of us has family members or forebears who have made sacrifices on our behalf. Our predecessors made those sacrifices so that we would have a better life and could have a positive impact on society. Most of their dreams were not for themselves, but for the success of the next generation.

Today, you have fulfilled their dreams, and justified their sacrifice. This is a great accomplishment, and you should all be very proud. We have worked very hard for our degrees & certificates, and we have earned this day. We should enjoy this moment fully, but also be mindful, that with today’s achievements will come tomorrow’s responsibilities. We have gained an education and now we have the obligation to use what we have learned to better our lives, and to benefit humanity.

-For what man, is truly a man, who does not try to make his world better?

In recent times, we have seen our share of inept and self-serving individuals in places of power. It seems as if an epidemic of selfishness and greed has infected a large portion of the population. Our country is now in great need of real leaders. Leaders with integrity and with vision, whom we can all rally behind. Leaders whose first priority lies with the betterment of the people they serve, and not with the enrichment of their own bank accounts or celebrity.

My friends, I urge you, to see your diploma not only as a passport to the good life, but also as a permit to help create a better life for all. Each of us can be a leader, or an advocate for change, in whatever profession we choose. For if you improve life for one of us, you have, in turn, improved life for all of us.

My colleagues, I call upon you now, to follow in the footsteps of those who dreamed of your success. Make it your goal to initiate positive changes for the benefit of future generations. Make it your dream to accomplish something greater then yourself. And Make this day, this day, be the start of a journey that will culminate with a legacy of respectable leadership, environmental enrichment, and the advancement of all humanity.

And allow these words, from Emerson, to guide you.

“The purpose of life is not only to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, and to be compassionate, and to have it make some difference that you have lived, and lived well.”
