Participants in the Project SEARCH HSN employment preparation and career training program were honoured at HSN recently. Ten students received Certificates of Completion on behalf of Rainbow District School Board, Health Sciences North and March of Dimes Canada.
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.
“Project SEARCH is an initiative that aims to break existing barriers and create a more inclusive community, and we are thrilled and privileged to be part of it,” said Jessica Diplock, Vice-President, People and Culture, for Health Sciences North. “The internships at HSN have provided the opportunity to support and develop each graduate’s confidence and skills to ensure they succeed in the workplace and build bright, exciting futures for themselves. Staff at HSN are so proud of the 2023-2024 graduates of Project SEARCH. Congratulations!”
