HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - At Aiea Elementary School, a group of special needs students are receiving hands-on job training through a program called Project SEARCH.
âWe have a lot of jobs here on campus. In order for them to learn those career and life skills, we wanted to put them to work,â vice principal Rosa Ashley said.
Program participants are just out of high school and have intellectual and developmental disabilities.
