We are so grateful for the partnership with MUSC and are so proud of our interns!❤️❤️❤️

Please join us in welcoming six new Project SEARCH interns to MUSC Health!

Over the coming months, these interns will gain valuable, hands-on experience through rotations in Dining Services, EVS, Linen Services and Central Supply while building skills that can help prepare them for meaningful careers.

Project SEARCH is an internationally recognized transition-to-work program that helps young adults develop workplace skills and gain real-world experience. We’re proud to partner in this important program and look forward to supporting our interns as they learn, grow and contribute to our team.

Help us give them a warm MUSC welcome and wish them success as they begin their Project SEARCH journey!
