Following an incredibly successful inaugural year, a new cohort of students is set to join the UGDSB's Project SEARCH programs. Project SEARCH is a unique school-to-work learning initiative for students with disabilities. We are excited to welcome a new class of program interns who are eager to begin their learning journey.
Project SEARCH is a comprehensive training program for students with disabilities who are entering their final year of high school. The program provides participants with employment skills, instruction from a dedicated team of educators, along with hands-on work experience geared to in-demand roles in the local labour market.
The UGDSB is currently a partner in two Project SEARCH programs in Guelph.
The Project SEARCH University of Guelph team, comprised of the WCDSB, UGDSB, University of Guelph, and March of Dimes Canada, will provide students with ample support and guidance over the coming months as they complete a variety of in-class learning and internship placements across the University.
The Project SEARCH YMCA team, comprised of the UGDSB, YMCA Three Rivers of Guelph, and March of Dimes Canada is thrilled to welcome new students into the YMCA family this year.
On September 16 and 17, respectively, Project SEARCH students will mark the official start of this transformative experience at Signing Day ceremonies. The students' internships will begin in late September.
