It aims to offer students an enriching and practical education and is committed to integrating innovative methods and interactive projects to prepare its students for the challenges of the professional world. This approach is reflected in a number of high-profile educational events organized within ORT France’s establishments.

In recent years, ORT France has extended its educational provision beyond high school and provides tertiary-level degree and diploma courses in fields including dentistry, engineering, business management, optometry, fashion, and entrepreneurship. It also maintains a successful research and development hub.

ORT began operating in France in 1921. It worked with local Jewish organisations to implement vocational training courses and to find employment for newly-arrived German refugees. ORT stayed in France during the Second World War and maintained facilities in 20 French cities.

ORT France expanded from the mid-1950s and throughout the 1960s and 1970s to offer vocational and academic education to Jewish immigrants from North Africa.

From the 1980s, ORT France’s curriculum and courses underwent fundamental changes and provided advanced science and technology courses, and university preparation programs.
