Description
Project SEARCH is a business-led collaboration that enables young adults with disabilities to gain and maintain employment through training and career exploration. Eligible students with disabilities are offered a workforce alternative for their last year of high school. The program provides total immersion in a large community business. Students report to the host business, learn employability skills in the classroom and job skills through their internships. The goal at the end of the school year is for interns to acquire competitive community employment.
The current host site is Aspirus Wausau Hospital and the stakeholders include school districts, vocational service providers, vocational rehabilitation agencies, and long-term service providers.
