This focus has evolved to meet the employment needs of a wide variety of industries in the telecommunications, robotics, bioengineering, biochemistry, natural gas, automotive and urban planning fields, and it prepares students to launch productive careers and lead fulfilling lives in an increasingly higher-tech society.The David B. Hermelin ORT Resource Center in Southfield and Detroit is an example of the important role of ORT. Through the Better Jobs Opportunities Program (BJO), Hermelin ORT provides free computer training courses to unemployed and under-employed Michigan residents, knowledge critical to landing a job in today&#8217;s marketplace.ORT has made a positive impact in the lives of millions of students by equipping them with a high-caliber education and training to become contributing members of their communities, and the Michigan region is proud to help improve the world through this important work.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Doreen_Hermelin-150x150-1.jpg\" alt=\"Doreen_Hermelin\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>&#8220;<em>ORT has meant a great deal to me for over half a century. Originally I was attracted to ORT because of the vocational education it offered, but equally important, it was a way to keep our Jewish kids Jewish. ORT has always offered the most cutting edge education so wherever students lived and during whatever time period it was, they were able to obtain a job and become productive members of their communities. My husband&#8217;s favorite phrase was, &#8220;If you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day; if you teach a man to fish, he will eat for a lifetime.'&#8221; This is what ORT has been doing since 1880 around the world, and this is why I love ORT.<\/em>&#8220;<br \/>Doreen Hermelin<\/p><hr \/><h4>Please <a href=\"\/regions\/michigan-region\/region-sponsor\/\">click here<\/a> for a list of ORT Michigan&#8217;s Campaign SuppORTers.<br \/><\/h4>\t\t\n\t\t<h2>\n\t\t\tHow You Can Help\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSupport ORT.
