2021 SERVE 360 REPORT ESG PROGRESS AT MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL → 43 Bridges from School to Work ® The transformative power of a job is one of the most impactful ways to serve people with disabilities. For over 30 years, our flagship partnership with Bridges from School to Work, established by the Marriott family, has supported skills development, training, and job placement for young people with disabilities, making a positive impact by creating and supporting opportunities. Each year, Bridges helps more than 1,000 young people with disabilities prepare for the workplace and find a job that matches their interests and abilities. In 2020, Marriott’s support enabled Bridges to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and continue their mission of serving young people with disabilities. This included launching a redesigned and responsive website, maintaining their services through virtual and remote delivery, and providing pandemic resources to youth and parents. Marriott was also named one of the 2020 “Best Places to Work for Disability Inclusion” as part of the Disability Equality Index (DEI) – a joint initiative of Disability: IN and the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD).
