Easter Seals Disability Services

Project SEARCH

Project SEARCH is an exciting transition program for young adults with disabilities. This Easter Seals program is a collaboration with local businesses (Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin and ProHealth Care), Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, school districts and long term funding options. It provides employment skill building through internship rotations within the local businesses.

In addition to the job skills learned in the internship, the classroom curriculum includes learning about appropriate interpersonal skills with supervisors and co workers, resume writing, job searching, how to apply for a job and how to understand what employers are looking for, understanding company policies and attendance, honesty and appropriate dress codes for your job. Other internship opportunities in this program include the Histology Lab, Pharmacy, Distribution Services, Imaging, and Neuroscience Clinic. Learn more
