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.

Professional dress options in our local area.
Interns went to Walmart Rice Lake, Goodwill Industries International, and TJ Maxx in Rice Lake, WI to look for affordable options for interview wear or first days in the job.
