On May 28, 2025, CESA 8 proudly celebrated the graduation of interns from the Project SEARCH program hosted at Bellin Hospital and HSHS St. Vincent Hospital in Green Bay. This milestone marked the culmination of a transformative nine-month journey that prepared young adults with disabilities for meaningful employment through immersive, hands-on experiences.
Project SEARCH is a collaborative initiative designed to equip individuals with disabilities with the skills necessary for competitive employment. Interns engage in multiple 10-week rotations across various hospital departments, including environmental services, pharmacy, and general stores. These rotations provide real-world experience and foster the development of essential workplace competencies.
