World ORT has a long and proud tradition of welcoming and
educating people from all over the world. Bramson ORT College is continuing
that tradition in the United States and its mission by pursuing a new
initiative to recruit and educate students from all over the world in the
melting pot of the United States – New York City.
Nelson Mandela, former President of South Africa, who was attending the opening of an ORT facility in South Africa, referred to ORT as an institution that helps individuals grow and become an asset to their community and country. The new International Student Initiative is in keeping with the past initiatives that Nelson Mandela referred to. He said, “One tool that will enable people to rise above their circumstances is education, particularly education that leads to the acquisition of useful and marketable skills.” He also stated, “Technology education is the foundation stone on which we must build… ORT’s initiative could not therefore have come at a better time.”

Our first regional initiative is
Africa. According to UNESCO, around
two-thirds of the population in Africa is under 25-years-old, a vast majority
lack higher education and job skills. Contributing to African youth high
unemployment, is the dearth of colleges and technical schools needed to train
young people in today’s competitive technological market place.
Irina Bokova, the Director General of UNESCO said, “The best answer to youth unemployment is to ensure that young people acquire the basic skills and relevant training they need to enter the world of work with confidence. Many youth, and women in particular, need to be offered alternative pathways to education, so that they gain the skills to earn a living, live in dignity and contribute to their communities and societies.”

Bramson ORT
College is recruiting students from a number of African countries beginning
with Ghana. Ghana is the initial pilot country, because of the high youth
population who do not have access to higher education in Ghana or abroad.
Bramson ORT College will give African students affordable education packages to
attend 2-year programs and receive an Associate Degree, enabling them to
achieve the education and skills needed for the job market, to go back home to
work, start a business, teach or transfer to a 4-year college in the U.S. to
further their education. Bramson ORT has a fast track three semester
program allowing students to complete a degree program in 18 months.

a quality education at an affordable price, additionally a number of scholarship
