COLUMBUS AFB, Miss. – Columbus Air Force Base, Lowndes County School District and the Mississippi Department of Rehabilitation Services (MDRS) worked with a group called Project SEARCH to give students with disabilities an opportunity to gain work experience.
Project SEARCH is a unique 9-month employment preparation program that gives students with disabilities experience in a hands-on training environment. The students received a certification of completion of the program at a base ceremony.
“Being a part of your growth and development has been a pleasure,” said Lt. Col. Tiffany Sellers, 14th Logistics Readiness Squadron commander told graduates.
Project SEARCH is a continual program that has laid down roots at several locations, mostly local hospitals.
On-site training at Columbus AFB has been a unique opportunity that base leaders are excited to nurture and continue to assist their community. (CAFB 05/25/23)
