Here at ProjectSEARCH cupid got us good! We LOVE that we are gaining independence and learning new skills. We have started our 2nd round of internships and we are ready for new challenges that come our way. In class, we made new professional emails, learned to navigate websites, learned the importance of online safety and what a digital footprint is. Currently we are learning about health and wellness such as mental health, how to manage our stress, employment impact on our health and the importance of hygiene and grooming.

“I love ProjectSEARCH because I get the opportunity to try different internships and meet new people. This program has taught me so many skills like professionalism, learning to take feedback and how to become more independent”

– Anajahliz T, PS Intern

“What I love about ProjectSEARCH is that I can be a part of the NECC campus and I get to meet new people. ProjectSEARCH has helped me gain confidence and new skills. I love all the new internships I get to try especially working with the NECC comfort dog. I get to take Winnie all around the campus to meet the students and faculty. Working with LT. Walker has been great. He is so kind and helpful.”

-Brandon R, PS Intern

“Working with ProjectSEARCH interns has been an incredibly rewarding experience. It is a pleasure to assist them with reaching their goals of independence and integration into the local workforce as skilled and dedicated employees. I have truly enjoyed getting to know the entire class and seeing their personalities shine through as they go about their daily activities. The internship is designed for the students to learn from their supervisors, but I would argue that the opposite is true as I have learned more from each and every one of them.”

-Lt. Keith Walker, NECC Comfort Dog Supervisor
