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 ski

lls

-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 big THANK YOU to all the organizations/employers who attended our Reverse Job Fair Thursday April 9th, 2026!

We had a steady flow of visitors, many opportunities to practice our interview skills, and learned a lot so we can continue to improve for our “real-world” interviews happening soon or during the summertime/fall for competitive, integrated employment that meets our job goals! 👏🏼🤩👍🏻

Help us celebrate National Paraprofessional Day for our wonderful Skills Trainer, Kate! Without her the program would not run and things would not operate as smoothly. She is a kind, caring human who brings calm to any situation. So very thankful that Kate is with us at Project SEARCH - Rice Lake WI Rice Lake Weighing Systems.
