Travel Trainor at Link Transit, Pete Kappler, says Community Based Instruction helps Project SEARCH interns learn more about the area they live in. “Project SEARCH isn’t just about work, it’s about life outside of work too,” says Kappler. “Link Transit is a big partner in helping people with disabilities navigate the bus system as it can be intimidating and confusing. We go on these scavenger hunts in the community to help people be independent going to and from work. I think I have the best job, and it’s amazing to see someone I’ve trained use the bus system on their own.” During the interns’ first Stemilt internship, they practiced skills in communication, time management, following instruction, self-advocating, and conducting themselves in a professional manner. The interns began their second internships in December and will continue through early spring in Stemilt’s retail, production, finance, reception/HR, and battery departments. “This is the first time Project SEARCH has been at Stemilt and we’re learning the process and figuring out what works,” explains Sadewasser. “We got our feet wet during their first internship and we’re game planning for the second. With each year, we’ll continue adding more to the program as we go and continue giving our interns more responsibility. We’re very excited to see how the interns will grow in new department areas and continue building new skills and relationships amongst fellow Stemilters,” About Stemilt Stemilt is a family-owned grower, packer, and shipper of tree fruit.
