ORT JET (Jewish Entrepreneurial Training) is an innovative
and highly successful mentoring programme for Jewish businesses that need advice
and advanced skills to enhance their business. Using the available resources,
skills base, knowledge and expertise within the Jewish community, volunteer
consultants provide the necessary support for Jewish businesses in need. This
process is managed by ORT JET through a central database and facilitated by
interactive websites.
Established in Johannesburg under the auspices of ORT South Africa, ORT JET has
already helped more than 196 businesses since it was launched in 2005, and has
attracted more than 290 successful businesspeople who volunteer their time to
give expert assistance to struggling entrepreneurs.
ORT JET was launched at a World ORT conference in July 2006. Australian ORT saw
this as an excellent opportunity to assist the Australian Jewish community and
in March 2007, ORT JET Australia was launched in Sydney.
