KELOWNA, B.C. - Bridges.com Inc. (TSE:BIT) has agreed to provide high-tech career information for GetTech, a national U.S. multimedia campaign to help young people prepare for a technology-driven future and to dispel stereotypes about high-tech careers.

Joining additional gold level sponsors such as Toyota, CNET, the Semiconductor Industry Association and the Centre for Workforce Success, Bridges.com will provide detailed information about 45 high-tech careers to be used at a kid-friendly Web site (www.gettech.org) beginning October 3, 2000.

"This is an example of the growing awareness of Bridges.com outside of the educational community," said Doug Manning, CEO and President of Bridges.com. "The National Association of Manufacturers and the U.S. Department of Commerce viewed Bridges.com as the best available provider of content for kids. That is why we were invited to be a core sponsor for the GetTech initiative."

GetTech is a major public awareness campaign developed by the National Association of Manufacturers and the U.S. Department of Commerce. The campaign is a public-private partnership to create positive awareness about high-tech careers and encourage young people to prepare for the jobs of tomorrow.

According to GetTech, the need for this campaign can be seen in the labour outlook: by 2006, the U.S. will need more than 1.3 million new highly skilled workers. This forecast comes at a time when too many students elect to drop math and science courses, as early as the junior high school level.

The campaign begins October 3, 2000, and will include public service announcements using electronic media and movie theatres, a toll-free hotline, posters and information kits.
