Learn to Earn. Learn by Doing. Learn a Trade!

At Orleans Technical College in Philadelphia, our job training programs are approved by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. We are happy to welcome veterans and service members to utilize their educational benefits at our school, such as The Post-911 GI Bill® and Montgomery GI Bill®.

Upon completion of your chosen training program, Orleans’ on-site employment specialists will work with you one-on-one to help you transition into your new career path through job search assistance and access to our veteran-friendly employer partners throughout the region. We will also help you to prepare a résumé that highlights your prior military experience, as well as the practical knowledge and technical skills you gain at Orleans.
