By Rosalind Russell – Participants in the Project SEARCH HSN employment preparation and career training program were honoured at Health Sciences North last week with students receiving Certificates of Completion on behalf of Rainbow District School Board, Health Sciences North and March of Dimes Canada.
According to the release, Project SEARCH is a transition-to-work program that combines classroom instruction with hands-on training.
Students in their final year of high school develop skills required for entry-level employment and some have found employment having completed the program.
Ten students from Rainbow Schools engaged in three internships in various departments at Health Sciences North, which were eight to ten weeks in duration, guided by skilled, experienced staff including a teacher from Rainbow District School Board and two Skills Trainers from March of Dimes Canada.
