Adam, Holsinger and Kenzie worked in a variety of departments at UPMC. They also had classroom training to learn the soft skills successful employees should possess. Cecil Miller, UPMC’s vice president of operations, was the first to congratulate the graduates. He also expressed his desire that The Resource Center and the hospital will provide employment training to lots of people with disabilities through the Project SEARCH initiative. “We hope this is the first of many, many, many years,” Miller said. He told the interns , “You really became a part of our family here, and know that you’ll always have a place.”
