OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. (WXXV)- It was a celebration at the cafe in the Ocean Springs hospital as the newest class of graduates from Singing River Health System’s Project SEARCH Program walked the stage.

Project SEARCH is a collaboration between Singing River Health System, the Ocean Springs and Pascagoula-Gautier School Districts as well as the Mississippi Department of Rehabilitation Services that enables young adults with disabilities to gain and maintain employment through training and career exploration.

Participants in the program completed three 10-week rotations in departments around Singing River Health System to ensure they find the job that suits them.

For Shaleah taking part in Project SEARCH has opened up opportunities and given her confidence she didn’t have before.
