History of ORT in Uruguay
The international organization ORT was founded in 1880 in St. Petersburg, Russia, to support Jewish communities facing discrimination by helping them acquire the skills needed to achieve economic independence.
In Montevideo, ORT was founded in 1942 by members of the Jewish community who wanted to support the waves of immigrants fleeing Nazi atrocities by teaching them trades that would help them integrate into the country's society.
In 1996, ORT became the first institution in Uruguay to be recognized as a private university.
