We partner with TransCEN Inc./Creative Employment Opportunities and The Threshold Inc. to offer Project SEARCH at Froedtert Hospital and Froedtert West Bend Hospital. The nine-month internship program provides adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities on-the-job training and skills development, with the goal of securing year-round job placement.
 
In 2022, 10 interns graduated from the program following rotations with Supply Chain, Food and Nutrition Services, Environment Services, Transport Services, Pharmacy and Sports Medicine. Our health network hired three after graduation. Since 2015, Froedtert Health has hired about two dozen Project SEARCH interns. Creative Employment Opportunities awarded Froedtert Hospital its 2022 Impact Award for our Project SEARCH program.
