Project SEARCH - UW-Platteville

09/18/2025

Welcome to the 2025-2026 University of Wisconsin-Platteville Project SEARCH cohort. 🧡💙

We have had a crew of interns on campus for many weeks. Before our interns even experience working on campus, they spend the first several weeks together building their team.

Our interns have been:
- Learning about the program and participating in team building exercises in our campus classroom.
- Getting familiar with campus so they can navigate from building to building.
- Developing fabulous relationships while on some fun fieldtrips.

We are excited to share more about their campus experience this year. Thank you to our interns for joining the team.

Our Project SEARCH interns complete 3 on-campus job rotations during the academic year. They learn different skills within each placement, gain wonderful job experience that builds stamina, and they start to understand what types of jobs they like or even don't like.

Today marks the last day of the first rotation for this cohort. These interns have developed great relationships with the department they have worked for.

Our students will have several days of classroom time before the next adventure begins.

Great job, team! Go Pioneers!
