Project Search readies disabled for work

Project Search Program kicked off at Delta College last March and is continuing to gain momentum, though it is seeking more students to fill open jobs.

“It’s a wonderful program and I am fortunate to work with it, regarding finding students with disabilities jobs,” said Nick Meyers, a program official.

But there are more opportunities than students at this point for the Delta chapter of the national program which aims to match disabled would-be employees with work.

The program started with founder Erin Riehel, director for the Emergency Department at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center.
