Project Search graduates 10
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WLAX/WEUX) – 10 young adults celebrated a milestone! The interns graduated from the Project Search Program.
Facilitated by the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development, Project Search gives young adults with disabilities hands-on internship opportunities with community businesses. Graduate Jacobn Johnson explains, 'My 1st rotation is Supply Chain Management. I stocked supply rooms in, like, the surgery center, ED, and also GI. And, I worked with my mentor Jonathon to restock everything in GI after it got flooded by a cut water pipe.'
Mayo Clinic Talent Solutions Specialist Chelsey Steinbrecher added, 'It has been a proven workforce solution for us, truly. It's a grow-your-own, if you think about it, from start to finish of their program. We're building them up, we're training them, and at the end of the program, they're able to work.'
Project Search started in 2008 and has helped over 2000 adults across the state of Wisconsin.
