In September 2021, Johnson & Johnson expanded its BTE initiative in the United States. Johnson & Johnson Consumer in Skillman, New Jersey partnered with The College of New Jersey (TCNJ), and Ewing High School (EHS) to collaboratively design a new BTE program in the Ewing, New Jersey community. Targeting 50 student enrolled in their final 3 years at EHS in the 2021-2022 academic year, the vision of the BTE Ewing program was to ensure that participating youth had the college and career readiness skills required to succeed and thrive in post-secondary education and be gainfully employed in STEM2D careers or healthcare sectors. Program activities were designed to support both the short-term and end-of grant outcomes. Throughout the BTE program, each partner collaboratively provided a structure for academic and work-based learning with measurable results, expanded student knowledge of the STEM2D sectors, and strengthened higher education pathways. Program strategy focused on developing the following four areas: Academic Enrichment, Career Exploration and Readiness, Higher Education Exploration and Preparation, and Community Engagement and Youth Leadership.
