BB2C: Building Bridges to Careers

BB2C develops and provides community and career connected learning opportunities for youth, educators, business owners, and community members. Our core programs are career mentoring, job shadowing, internships, and STEM activities for students in secondary education. We also offer programming and support to students, community members, small business owners, and community leaders around professional development, entrepreneurship, networking, and community building. The BB2C Epicenter, which houses the BB2C offices, the BB2C Makerspace, and the BB2C Small Business Incubator, is located in Marietta, OH. We foster relationships with Washington County school districts, businesses, and civic organizations to inspire career choice amongst our students and bridge the gap between education and employment. We also oversee the BB2C Network, which serves Southeastern Ohio and beyond and is comprised of organizations and communities both interested in and actively doing community and career connected learning for their schools, businesses, and students, and community members.
