The Johnson & Johnson Re-Ignite program is for experienced professionals ready to return to work after a career break of two years or longer. Get back to your career alongside others who have been where you are, who understand and appreciate nontraditional career journeys, unique skills and life experience like yours. Guided by mentors and feedback from those who have successfully completed the program, Re-Ignite also includes:

  • Comprehensive onboarding and industry-specific skills training
  • Projects based on your goals
  • Building confidence and fluency in key workplace tools through on-the-job learning
  • A network of support for the next phase of your career journey and beyond
  • Consideration for a full-time role at Johnson & Johnson after completing the program
  • We believe pausing your career to pursue something else important shouldn’t stand in the way of your next breakthrough—it should enhance it.

  • Military service
  • Starting or raising a family
  • Caring for a family member
  • Community service
  • Political office
  • Entrepreneurial ventures
  • Volunteer work
