Project Search helps local students find their callings
For the last few years, Rio Rancho Public Schools has been involved with a program out of Cincinnati called Project Search.
Project Search is a business-led, one-year unpaid internship program for students with intellectual/developmental disabilities at the host work-site, Presbyterian Rust Medical Center, according to RRPS information. Students ages 18-21 enrolled in the district’s Special Services are eligible to apply in their last year of school, if they have completed their graduation requirements.
It began at RMC in 2016 and normally consists of three 10-week rotations, allowing students to build their skills for seeking employment after graduation.
