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.
