Program summary

Most of the service members who come through our SkillBridge program stay on. We think veterans are some of the best people we can hire, and we'd rather back that up with a job offer than a slogan - most candidates who finish with us get one.Here's what you'd be joining. Jaco Aerospace has supplied the aerospace and defense industry since 1971. We distribute the parts and materials customers use to build and maintain aircraft, defense systems, and spacecraft, and we handle the supply chain work that goes with it. We're an AS9120B-certified distributor and were among the first in our field to meet CMMC cybersecurity requirements - meaning orders arrive with the documentation and traceability the program requires, and customer data stays protected. In 2024, Northrop Grumman named us a Supplier of the Year.The work matters for a simple reason. Somebody is waiting on that part - a maintainer with an aircraft down, a program with a deadline. Get them the right part, with the right pedigree, on the day they need it, and the flying public and the warfighter stay safe and mission-ready.
