A comprehensive, four-year program woven into every Defiance College student’s curriculum—designed to prepare students not just for a successful career, but for a fulfilling life.

Much More Than A Career Readiness Program...

Jacket Journey is a career-readiness program that will help students see connections between their experience in the classroom, participation in co-curricular and extracurricular activities, and the power skills needed for success in the 21st century workplace. This program is designed to help students better articulate the knowledge, skills, and dispositions they acquire at Defiance College; foster dialogue between the college community and employers through an annual summit; and provide faculty with opportunities to connect with employers.

Your education is a journey. As a Defiance College Yellow Jacket, your journey will prepare you for a lifetime of professional possibilities. While most colleges tell seniors how to react when opportunity knocks, we teach students how to open doors for themselves.
