THUNDER BAY — Ken Skinner says a program aimed at teaching students with special needs the skills they need to find meaningful post-graduation employment was long a missing link in the education process.
“For a lot of students, when they leave our high schools, they have their credits and they have the skills that they’ve built, but there isn’t a lot out there for them, especially in the capacity of paid employment. So, I think this is the missing link for them that we’ve been looking for with our high schools,” Skinner said.
Special needs students typically graduate between the ages of 18 to 21, and Skinner said the seven students chosen to take part in Project Search bought into the program almost immediately. Allison Sargent, a superintendent of education with the board, said Project Search was a full year in the making, noting it took quite some time to find a willing community partner able to take on placement students.
