Students with Disabilities Trained and Employed

Cincinnati Children’s Hospital began training and hiring high school students with disabilities through the Project Search program. Project Search partnered with businesses, communities and schools to help students gain hands-on training and work experience. Cincinnati Children’s Hospital has been training and employing students with disabilities in positions involving sterilizing surgical equipment and working defibrillators on a carpet-making production line. Holland Bloorview Kid’s Rehabilitation Hospital interviewed Erin Riehle, director of disability services and Project Search, about the program.
