Andrew is quickly learning the ropes! 🌟 As a Project SEARCH intern in Materials Management, he’s already making a great impression. His mentor describes him as a fast learner who challenges himself and advocates for what he needs, while his supervisors call him a “star” in the department who always stays busy and brings a great attitude.

Here he is hard at work operating the trash compactor and building valuable workplace skills! 👏

Grant has found a job that makes him “almost too happy!” 😊 Since July, Grant has been working as a bagger at Raley’s in Elk Grove, where he’s become a flexible and reliable member of the team. He’s always ready to jump in wherever an extra hand is needed 🛒
 
His happiness on the job is easy to see. One customer even stopped his job coach to share that she could tell just how much Grant loves his job. We should all be so lucky to find work that brings us that much joy! ❤️
