Bridge To Business is an education, networking, and career development program that gives students aspiring to careers in business the opportunity to learn from and connect with successful graduates of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. 

The program is offered at no cost, as it is designed to provide a bridge to success for any business hopeful, regardless of their background. 

Created by two high school students in partnership with the Wharton Club of New York, Bridge To Business has assembled a faculty of Wharton graduates who now hold leadership positions in nearly 20 different fields across the business landscape.

These experts serve as teachers and advisors to Bridge To Business students, educating them on their particular area of expertise and offering them career guidance across a year-round series of webinars.

Bridge To Business's high school program, now in its second year of classes, serves roughly 40 students a year. In keeping with the program’s goal of promoting access and opportunity, roughly half of our students are admitted in collaboration with our four partner community programs -- Heights Philadelphia, Urban Upbound, the South Bronx Community Charter School, and the Johnny Mac Tennis Project -- which work to create educational and career opportunities for underserved youth.

Bridge To Business is now being adapted by Wharton administrators and students into a college-level program for the school's undergraduates.
