JCC Designated 2021-2022 Military Friendly® School

Jefferson Community College (JCC) has once again received Military Friendly® School designation by Viqtory, publisher of G.I. Jobs®, Military Spouse and Military Friendly®. JCC was first designated a Military Friendly® School in 2012.

Institutions earning the Military Friendly® School designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey. Over 1,200 schools participated in the 2021-2022 survey. The 2021-2022 Military Friendly® schools list will be published in the May 2021 issue of G.I. Jobs magazine and can be found at www.militaryfriendly.com/schools/.

Methodology, criteria, and weightings were determined by Viqtory with input from the Military Friendly® Advisory Council of independent leaders in the higher education and military recruitment community. Final ratings were determined by combining the institution survey response set and government/agency public data sources within a logic-based scoring assessment. The institution’s ability to meet threshold for student retention, graduation, job placement, loan repayment, persistence (degree advancement or transfer) and loan default rates for all students and, specifically, for student veterans, is measured.

“Military Friendly® is committed to transparency and providing consistent data driven standards in our designation process,” says Kayla Lopez, National Director of Military Partnerships, Military Friendly®. “This creates a competitive atmosphere that encourages colleges to consistently evolve and invest in their programs. Schools who achieve designation show true commitment and dedication in their efforts. Our standards assist schools by providing a benchmark that promotes positive educational outcomes, resources, and support services that better the educational landscape and provide opportunity for the military community.”
