Project SEARCH Class of 2024 Honored Throughout Jefferson's New Jersey Hospitals
Friday, June 21, 2024
Nineteen members of the Project SEARCH Class of 2024 — at our hospitals in Cherry Hill, Stratford Hospital, and Washington Township — were honored at recent ceremonies.
The events celebrated the achievements of 12 Camden County-based YALE School NJ Project SEARCH program participants — six working at each of our Cherry Hill and Stratford hospitals — as well as the seven Gloucester County-based Project SEARCH program participants who worked in Washington Township.
The Project SEARCH interns attended classes at the hospitals every day throughout the school year, working and learning alongside Jefferson Health employees. Jefferson has been involved with Project SEARCH — an international work-transition program for young adults with developmental disabilities — since 2016. Many of these graduates have in turn been hired by Jefferson Health after concluding their participation in Project SEARCH.
