Johnson & Johnson’s Bridge to Employment (BTE) strives to motivate young adults (14–18 year olds) from underserved communities to stay in school, excel academically, and elevate their career aspirations by providing them with enhanced academic and "real world" experiences. To address the looming shortage of health workers globally, the program focuses on healthcare careers -- targeting science, technology, engineering, and math. Typical activities of the program include mentorships, career coaching, shadowing, community service projects and hands-on team-based science projects. In 2013, Johnson & Johnson employees logged 4,257 hours for the program and reached 777 students in 16 sites across 12 countries.
