Our T.A.F.E. organization was started for our Education and Training program we started in 2018. Most people assume that our program is just for students who want to be teachers and while we would love that we are also the closest Education strand for public service. Tonight I was privileged to witness one of my students sign to become part of a program for 18+ students to gain continued education and help with real life job searches. The program is called Project Search. Their website states "Project SEARCH is a groundbreaking program that challenges traditional expectations and empowers young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to achieve competitive employment." Joanna will continue her education through this program and with on the job training through GISD and Hunt Regional Healthcare. We are so very proud of her and are as excited as she is about her bright future.
