What Aoris · OrTra santé-social Vaud does

Aoris · OrTra santé-social Vaud is a non-profit vocational training organization headquartered in Lausanne (Rue de Genève 88b) and operating exclusively within the canton of Vaud, Switzerland. It holds the official OrTra (Organisation du monde du travail) mandate for health and social work professions in the canton, coordinating training pathways for assistant roles (ASA, ASE, ASSC) in coordination with the Direction générale de l'enseignement postobligatoire (DGEP) and partner institutions CPNV and ESsanté.

The organization's service portfolio spans two main lines. First, inter-company courses (Cours Interentreprises / CI) for apprentices in ASA, ASE, and ASSC tracks, delivered across partner professional schools. Second, adult education services (Prestations pour adultes): professional certification for adults, condensed professional training for ASSC (Formation Professionnelle Condensée / FPC), career reorientation into health and social work, recognition of foreign professional diplomas, and continuing education courses aligned with the OrFo 2020 regulatory framework. A third, ancillary line rents training rooms (CHF 250 full day, CHF 130 half day from July 1, 2026) to members and institutions.

Commercially, Aoris operates under a direct-to-consumer and direct-to-institution model within a single geography. Revenue mechanics combine unit-priced training module fees (e.g., CHF 240-690 per ASE skills update module for Vaud-based professionals), subsidized pricing pathways routed through FONDSSOCIAL redistribution, and facility rental income. Customers span four segments: apprentices in initial vocational education, adults seeking career reorientation or certification, employers (healthcare and social work institutions), and career counselors/educators. The technology surface is a content/registration website (aoris.ch) built on a standard CMS with Plausible Analytics for privacy-focused traffic measurement; no proprietary platform or AI/ML capability is disclosed.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• OdASanté: OdASanté is the national umbrella organization for healthcare vocational training in Switzerland. Like Aoris, it coordinates sectoral training pathways, certifications, and continuing education for health professions, making it a direct structural counterpart at the national level.
• AvenirSocial: AvenirSocial is the Swiss professional association for social work, coordinating training, certification, and professional development. It mirrors the social-work half of Aoris's mandate and shares the cantonal/national coordination model.

Others

• ESsanté: ESsanté is the École supérieure en soins infirmiers in Vaud and a partner institution where Aoris places ASE/ASSC apprentices for instruction. It is a key collaborator in the cantonal training pathway rather than a direct competitor.
• EduQua: EduQua is the Swiss federal quality label for continuing education providers. Aoris operates in the same continuing-education ecosystem and aligns its adult training programs with EduQua standards, making it an adjacent ecosystem reference rather than a competitor.
• CPNV: CPNV (Centre professionnel du Nord vaudois) is a vocational training center in Vaud that delivers the schooling component of Aoris's apprenticeships, serving as a partner institution in the cantonal training ecosystem.

Broad incumbents

• Careum: Careum is a Swiss foundation focused on healthcare education and workforce development. It operates more broadly across research, training, and policy in the health sector, overlapping with Aoris's training-coordination mandate but at a larger national scale.
