Post High School Resources

The World Wide Web hosts a multitude of sites that provides college and career information.  The sites listed here are just a sample of what is available.   Through this page you are able to link to other websites, which are not under the control of The Philadelphia Juvenile Justice Center School. We have no control over the nature, content and availability of these sites.

Military

Joining the Military is a big decision, and one we hope will inspire discussion among family, friends and trusted advisors. While not meant as a source of current military news (you can find that at www.defense.gov), the information on “Inspired to Serve” will help you carefully weigh the opportunities and benefits service has to offer.

As the world continues to embrace technology, one thing should become very clear to you: technical studies will prove increasingly vital to your career. Get information on Technical Studies, Education and Careers here.
