ORT was originally established in Russia in 1880 as the Obchestvo Remeslenogo Truda (Society for Trade and Agricultural Labor among the Jews of Russia). It was organized for the benefit of millions of Jews, assisting them by providing education and training in practical occupations, and so helped establish new agricultural colonies and industrial cooperatives throughout Russia.
