The Northeast Minnesota Office of Job Training (NEMOJT) opened their doors to the Northland over 40 years ago, with a commitment to supporting and uplifting those looking for jobs, stability, and financial independence. Now, NEMOJT has rebranded and relaunched as JET; Jobs, Empowerment, Training — a brand which now fully reflects their values as an organization wholeheartedly committed to helping people find not just jobs, but a path to their best life.

JET, a leader in workforce development in Northeast Minnesota, is a local unit of county government established under a joint powers agreement between the seven counties of Northeast Minnesota. It is the grant recipient and administrative entity of federal Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funds, state and county grants as well as private donations. JET serves job seekers, including dislocated workers, people wishing to enter or re-enter the workforce, youth, and adults interested in training and education. Services include career planning and exploration, personalized job search strategies, funding for post-secondary education, and financial resources to support job search activities.

JET is located in CareerForce locations in Duluth, Grand Rapids, International Falls, Hibbing, Virginia, Cloquet, and Aitkin. JET staff also provide services on-site at local community and technical colleges as well as in K12 school districts throughout the region and are available to travel to any site where career guidance is needed.
