For Employers
Build a reliable talent pipeline — with built-in retention support.
Bridges connects you with prepared, motivated young adults and provides structured onboarding and support for up to 12 months — at no cost to your organization.
85% 90-day retention (most recent program year) · 98% employer satisfaction · A disability-inclusive hiring partner since 1989.
Our proposition
Bridges isn’t a charity.
It’s a talent pipeline.
Trusted by 6,502 employers
From local businesses to Fortune 500 brands.
AmazonHiring young talent shouldn't feel risky.
Entry-level turnover costs time and money. Unfilled positions slow your operations. And onboarding new hires without support often leads to early exits.
Bridges eliminates these pain points. We prepare candidates before day one, support onboarding alongside your HR team, and stay engaged for a full year to ensure retention.
