I hired Ashlea as a full time employee over five years ago.  She is very committed and highly dedicated to her work.  Ashlea is dependable and works diligently in completing her assignments, usually before deadline.   She is extremely proud of her job, and I am extremely proud of Ashlea.  I encourage (or challenge) every workforce to embrace the Project SEARCH program and give the interns the opportunity to thrive in the workplace.  I promise you won’t be disappointed.

I was lucky enough to be part of the first Project Search class at McConnell Air Force Base.  It has been an exciting experience to see the Interns and program grow from the ground up.  Our Project Search Interns have had a great impact on our employees, customers and facility.  Our staff has learned as much from the program as the interns.  A number of former interns have been able to attain employment at McConnell and I would highly recommend the entire Project Search program.

I have been with Project SEARCH since the first year they were here and it has been such a positive experience watching how- over the course of the internship- the interns bloom with confidence. To me it is more than free labor; it is the opportunity to set these kids up for success in life. During COVID especially it has been so helpful to have an intern around to handle the cleaning, but the interns do all kinds of tasks like organizing, stocking, and inventorying. The program is wonderful and It is so rewarding to be able to help these kids move forward.
