Project SEARCH - Rice Lake WI

Project SEARCH - Rice Lake WI Hybrid, Transition Program: unique, business-led, 9 month, school-to-work, vocational skills program for students and young adults with disabilities

Interns who successfully complete Project SEARCH see many lifelong benefits:

-Confidence in their abilities to learn job skills and become a self-advocate

-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 skills

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

-Receive the tools needed to set goals and turn experiences into resume and job interview assets

Project SEARCH interns have an 88% success rate of procuring gainful employment after their internship is completed. 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.

“A mentor can guide you along the journey to your dream job.”

We are so very thankful for our amazing Department Supervisors and Mentors in Paint Prep, Electronics, Shipping & Receiving, Service School/HR/Dept Support, Custodial, Intruder and Safety/Manufacturing. Without their dedication, time, and effort, our interns would not be learning and growing their technical skills and soft skills on-the-job.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!

Communication in a factory can be tough with the machine noises. It’s important to speak loudly and clearly and make sure you understand directions from supervisors/mentor.

It’s OK to say “I don’t understand” or “can you say that again” or “can you show me what you mean”
