Shaw participates in work program for adults with disabilities

In April 2012, Shaw initiated its first Project SEARCH internship program, a work skills developmental program for young adults with disabilities. The four Shaw participants — Jordon Freeman, Eric Abernathy, Ashley Tankersley, and Angelica Summey — will complete on-the-job training to gain competitive skills needed for employment.

Created in 1996 at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, Project SEARCH has partnered with businesses in the U.S., Canada, Australia, Europe, and Scotland. Project SEARCH and its business partners work to facilitate high school transition programs for individuals with various developmental disabilities, such as visual and hearing impairments, autism, and intellectual disabilities.
