Midland Memorial Hospital saw great value in the inaugural year of Project Search. They have once again partnered with Project Search, Midland Independent School District (MISD), PermiaCare, Texas Workforce Solutions and Empowering Hands to make Project Search a reality two years in a row.
Project Search kicks off at MMH Aug. 13 with seven interns. Project Search is a transition-to-work program to assist students (age 18-22) with developmental disabilities obtain job skills that make them marketable in the workforce.
“The first year of Project Search exceeded all of our expectations and we are very excited to bring in another group,” Stephen Bowerman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said in a news release. “After completion of the program, we hope the interns have gained useful knowledge and feel at home so they can join our MMH family as employees.”
These interns come from MISD to complete the one-year employment preparation program. The program will follow the MISD calendar.
