Bridge to Employment (BTE)

Resource Center

Johnson & Johnson established the Bridge to Employment program (BTE) to help young people build solid futures by introducing them to a broad array of careers in health care. The idea is to engage students through real world experiences to demonstrate that learning can be meaningful, engaging, and relevant to their future. By fostering long-term partnerships among businesses, educators, community-based organizations and parents, BTE helps prepare young people to meet the challenges and requirements of careers in the health care industry and in today's knowledge-rich society.

The report also provides seven key elements of a successful school-to-career partnership and offers recommendations for schools, businesses, and funding agencies wishing to undertake similar efforts.
