Schools

A primary objective of any education is the enhancement of quality of life, and meaningful employment is a critical component of this. But what is the best way to assure a successful passage from education to employment?

Bridges from School to Work is a proven model, built by business for business, which can help make this connection. Working with young people as they prepare to exit special education, while forging strong relationships with local businesses, allows Bridges to translate the foundation of a K-12 education into competitive employment and career path.

Bridges Affiliate Programs

The Marriott Foundation for People with Disabilities operates eight local flagship Bridges offices around the country, serving some 1,000 youths each year. But of course that’s just a drop in the bucket relative to the need. In order to reach far more, Bridges offer an affiliate relationship to interested communities outside of its flagship sites.
