Interns who successfully complete Project SEARCH see many lifelong benefits:

-A guided transition from student life to working adult life with lifelong skills

-Opportunities to learn what they want (and realize what they don't want) in a prospective job

-Increased self-esteem, work ethic and relationship-building ski

lls

-A brighter outlook to be a gainfully employed and independent adult

For Project SEARCH to succeed, interns need a passion to improve their vocational skills and a desire to work. Individuals must apply for the program, and have appropriate hygiene, some communication skills and the determination to learn new employability skills.

Big thanks to the crew over at Aqua Garden LLC for the tour today of your facility. It was very neat to see all of the set up and towers that grow lettuce and herbs for local restaurants and grocery stores. We learned a lot. Thanks so much!
