2) The interns received their second stipend check for completing their second rotation internship.
3) Gloria had an interview with Willis from Environmental Services in the City of Rochester for her third rotation internship.
4) John had an interview with Mr. Laza, the head custodian, at school #22 for his third rotation internship.
5) Kyasia and Gloria opened up bank accounts at Canandaigua National Bank and Trust.
6) The interns went to a presentation at Rochester Works to learn about the employment services they offer and to learn all about how becoming employed can impact benefits.

Transition week was very busy at Project SEARCH. The interns went on a tour of City Hall and spent some time with the Mayor, they met with Jessica at Canandaigua Bank to learn about banking and finances, they met with Dana from OPWDD, they presented to students in the NYSAA program at Edison about Project SEARCH, and they had their interviews with their second internship rotation supervisors. In between all the activities they took some time to check out the gifts in the Christmas stockings personalized with their names and prepared by Terry Chatterton O'Hare

Today the Project SEARCH interns toured the Hall of Justice. They learned about all the different employment opportunities at the Hall of Justice, how to apply, and what makes a good employee . They also learned a lot of information about the courts. Many thanks to all of the staff at the Hall of Justice who took time today to talk to the interns! We greatly appreciated it !
