Yesterday we enjoyed a sunny-filled day during our Transition Program picnic!
Interns had the opportunity to reconnect with former classmates, while we also enjoyed meeting and chatting with students who will be joining us next year. Everyone enjoyed games, great food, and social time with peers — the perfect way to celebrate a wonderful year filled with hard work, growth, and accomplishments. We are so proud of all our interns and can’t wait to see what’s ahead for each of them! ☀️🌭🎉

🌯 Thank you to the Disability Network of Mid-Michigan for hosting our cooking class today! Interns learned how to make delicious breakfast burritos using a rice cooker while practicing important independent living and kitchen skills. We love providing hands-on experiences that build confidence, creativity, and independence for the future! 👩‍🍳👏

Jacob learned a new skill this week — how to properly tape off a wall for painting! He is doing a great job learning new tasks, building his confidence, and adding to his hands-on work experiences each day. We are proud of the hard work and attention to detail he continues to show at his internship site. Keep up the great work, Jacob!

Check us out is this great article about the impact of our program!

At Project SEARCH, students learn what jobs they do and don’t like. They also get support from peers, instructors and employers. Independence and employment are the goals.

💪 Jameson and DT continue to work hard and learn new tasks during our final two weeks of job internships!

They are now learning how to make linen packs at MSU Linen Services while also stepping into leadership roles by helping train other ISD Transition students — including one student who will be joining us at Spartan Project SEARCH next year.

It’s great to see interns building confidence, strengthening their skills, and helping support future Spartans along the way! 💚🤍
