Our Mission

Bringing the Electronic Industry Home

Justice Electronic Training Services Inc. (J.E.T.S) is an electronic training service-one of the few in the country, and the only of its kind in Florida. Our mission is to revitalize the electronic industry in Central Florida (and beyond) by teaching critical electronic skills training to the local workforce. We will then work to help trained workers find placement within domestic electronic manufacturers and subcontractors and thereby bringing out-sourced jobs back home.

Why is this so important?

Bringing the electronic and printed circuit board industry back to the United States is not just a matter of economics; it is a matter of national security. As reported by CNN, the United States produces less than 10% of the printed circuit boards it uses. As we grow more dependent on China for this resource, there is a concern that the circuit boards we rely on may contain hidden capabilities designed to interfere with the technology that drives our industry and our military.

Working with industry

Although J.E.T.S is not a placement agency, and we do not guarantee employment, we do work closely with industry leaders who rely on us to recommend qualified and trained personnel. J.E.T.S will contribute all we can to help give students an advantage in their search for a job in the electronic industry.
