Project SEARCH is led by Watertown Unified School District instructor Tracy Widiker. It was established in Watertown in 2017 by Watertown Area School District employees Abby Bamba, Erin Meyer and Kris Leonard. The program is housed at The Marquardt in partnership with the school district, the Down Syndrome Association of Wisconsin, long-term care agencies and the Wisconsin Division of Vocational Rehabilitation.
Project SEARCH was founded in 1996 by Erin Reihle of the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and Susie Rutkowski, a special education director, to meet entry-level workforce needs by developing partnerships with school and community agencies to hire young people with disabilities. The students or “interns” work to develop skills in the areas of team building, workplace safety, technology, self-advocacy, financial literacy, health and wellness, and maintaining employment.
The program runs on the school year calendar (September-June) and provides students with three different employment rotations at The Marquardt – primarily in the areas of housekeeping, shipping and receiving, food service activities, buildings and grounds, customer service, data entry and clerical work.
