By Rosalind Russell – An international program that helps students prepare for the world of work is in its fifth year in Greater Sudbury, thanks to an ongoing partnership between Rainbow District School Board, Health Sciences North, the City of Greater Sudbury and March of Dimes Canada.
According to the release, certificates of Internship were presented to the current group of Project SEARCH HSN participants during a signing ceremony at Health Sciences North last week.
A transition-to-work program that combines classroom instruction with hands-on training helping students in their final year of high school develop skills required for employment.
This year, ten students from Rainbow Schools will engage in three internships in various departments at Health Sciences North.
Placements are eight to ten weeks long and are determined by student interest and skill level with the students guided by experienced staff including a teacher from Rainbow District School Board and two job trainers from March of Dimes Canada.
