Project SEARCH
What is Project SEARCH? "The Project SEARCH Transition-to-Work Program" is a unique, business-led, one-year employment preparation program that takes place entirely at the workplace. Total workplace immersion facilitates a seamless combination of classroom instruction, career exploration, and hands-on training through worksite rotations. The program culminates in individualized job development." (https://www.projectsearch.us/)
Project SEARCH (located at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville) is up and running for the third year. Interns start the year with classroom instruction, orientation to campus, and prepration for interviews with potential supervisors and internships. They are currently participating in their first ten-week rotation in a variety of departments on campus. While COVID-19 has changed how some of the departments do their work and changed some tasks that need to be completed, the University has continued to partner with Project SEARCH. They continue to provide real-life work experience and training assistance through supervisors and mentors. In addition to UW-Platteville, Project SEARCH is a collaboration with many partners, including CESA 3, school districts of CESA 3, Hodan Community Services, Wisconsin Division of Rehabilitation, IRIS and Inclusa.
