Celebrating 30 Years
Welcome to Johnson & Johnson’s Bridge to Employment 30-year celebration! We invite you to explore BTE’s full 30-year history through an interactive timeline and oral history. We’re excited to celebrate 30 years and can’t wait to see what the future holds!
FHI 360 staff and Bridge to Employment Youth Leadership Council representatives conducted 30 interviews with BTE alumni and program partners, capturing 30 years of Building partnerships, Transforming communities, and Empowering youth. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the 30 people who offered their time, insights, and memories to the creation of this oral history. Your stories helped to illuminate BTE’s great accomplishments and brought the program’s rich history to life.
