Project SEARCH Program Assists Graduates Land Jobs At Hospital

A program that teaches people with developmental disabilities the skills needed to work in a hospital setting recently held its first graduation ceremony, and two graduates already have landed jobs thanks to what they learned.

Abigail Adam, Joshua Holsinger and Nicholas Kenzie were the proud honorees at a ceremony that took place at UPMC Chautauqua in Jamestown. The three were recognized for completing a nine-month internship at UPMC as part of a collaboration between the hospital and The Resource Center that brought Project SEARCH to Chautauqua County.
