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.

We had the pleasure of meeting Kari Mankus from Compass IL. She shared about the Center for Independent Living services in and around our area. Their main office is in Menomonie, with a satellite office in Rice Lake. Interns learned about the different services, resources, classes, and events they may be able to participate in if they contact the organization and state their goals or needs for assistance. Kari is very knowledgeable and happy to help! Thanks again for coming into Project SEARCH - Rice Lake WI in Rice Lake Weighing Systems to learn about our program and share information about your organization. We had a blast chatting with you!

A huge shoutout to Jackie Molden at RCU Royal Credit Union in Rice Lake for giving us a tour around the building and also for the presentation on budgeting! Interns really enjoyed the information shared and liked playing the Jeopardy game to showcase what they knew/learned.
