Project SEARCH at Mercyhealth Project SEARCH is a one-year internship program for students with disabilities in their last year of high school.

Project SEARCH is a ten-month school-to-work transition program for students with disabilities with total workplace immersion, classroom instruction, career exploration, on-the-job training and job development support. It is targeted for students whose goal is competitive employment in the community. The program is headquartered at
Mercyhealth Hospital - Rockton Avenue. Students participate in up to three internships to explore a variety of career paths. Each student works with a team that includes his or her family, a teacher, employment specialists, and a rehabilitation counselor to create an employment goal and to support the student during the transition from school to work.

So the interns, instructor and skills trainers decided it would be a good idea to meet for dinner and mingle while building some life long friendships. It truly was nice to see everyone outside of work hours! A huge thank you to the parents for bringing them and picking them up. Maybe a Friendsgiving next?! 🤔😊😊
