Javelin Learning Systems, Inc. (“Javelin Technical Training” or “Javelin”) is a for-profit, postsecondary education institution located in Atlanta, GA.

Javelin is a wholly-owned subsidiary of JTC Education Holdings, Inc., an Excellere platform company focused on building a leading provider of postsecondary education.

Top Down Investment Thesis
According to the U.S. Department of Education, the $20 billion for-profit education segment grew 15.4% annually from 1995 to 2005 and is expected to grow at a 17.7% annual growth rate through 2013.

Continued growth in the education sector will be driven by (i) an expanding pool of potential students, (ii) widening income gaps between high school graduates and more advanced degree/certification holders, (iii) general labor market trends reflecting the shift towards a service-based economy, (iv) continued acceptance of online degree programs and (v) shifting labor needs towards healthcare and wellness related occupations (The Department of Labor projects a 30.3% increase in the number of health care jobs between now and 2014).

Buy and Build Strategy
Having completed its recapitalization with Excellere in March 2009, JTC Education Holdings, Inc. seeks acquisition opportunities that accelerate its geographic and program expansion, particularly companies with an emphasis in health and wellness programs.
