2015/2016 Interns

   The interns worked on skills in the classroom and at the internship site.

• Five interns from William Blount High School were chosen as the first students to pilot the program

• The interns chose from 4 possible rotations which included the Metz dining hall floor, Metz dish room, clerical rotation and housekeeping

• As the year progressed, the interns acquired numerous job skills, improved their confidence and prepared for a successful transition to jobs

• All five of the interns have met the criteria for the Project SEARCH celebration in April and rotated through the internship sites

• All five interns are currently employed

The first Project SEARCH Celebration/Graduation was held on April 19, 2016 at the Chilhowee Club.

                          The Celebration included 100% placement of the Interns!
