Following World War II, influenced by Truman's Principle 4 aid and followed by economic development, the expansion of vocational education gained momentum through the efforts of both the government and the Iranian Jewish community. One of these notable non-governmental institution from this period was the ORT Institute, established by the Iranian Jewish community under the guidance of the World ORT Institute between 1950 and 1978. This institute operated industrial and vocational schools in Tehran, Shiraz, and Isfahan. This study by examining archival documents and annual reports from the Iranian ORT to the World ORT Forum, attempts to highlight the role of this vocational institution in creating job opportunities for Jewish individuals and advancing Iran's industrialization through a descriptive-analytical approach. The present study aims to answer the question of what was the necessity of establishing these vocational schools in this period, and what were their achievements? The findings indicate that this institution was a pioneer in introducing and teaching various technical disciplines in Iran. Although the centers' activities were short-lived due to significant migration of students from Isfahan and Shiraz to Tehran and Israel, many continued their education at the Tehran vocational and industrial school, which expanded its offerings and established technical workshops. Along with Iran's economic development during the 1960s and 1970s, this institute played an effective role in creating new technical jobs opportunities for Iran’s Jewish community, and facilitating their emmigration abroad, especially to Israel, by utilizing up-to date knowledge and employing experienced technical teachers.
