Academy for Educational Development

Bridge to Employment (BTE) is in an effort to reform education by communicating to at-risk students that learning can be meaningful, engaging, and relevant.  The BTE program helps young people build solid futures by introducing them to a broad array of careers in health care and providing them with real world experiences.













Through BTE, AED fosters long-term partnerships among business, educators, community groups, youth and parents to have a meaningful impact on students’ future success in the workplace, schools, and society.













Since its inception in 1992, BTE has supported the educational and career development of students from all social, ethnic, and economic backgrounds.  It has introduced them to a broad array of careers in health care and provided them with real world experiences necessary to succeed.  Partnerships in dozens of communities have linked educators, students, and their families with local Johnson & Johnson companies, their employees and other community partners.
