Students with disabilities will have an opportunity Thursday to hear details about internships and training being made available through a partnership between the Sedalia 200 district and State Fair Community College.
An informational open house for Project Search will be offered 6 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Smith-Cotton High School. Project Search takes special needs students who have completed four years of high school and provides them with a fifth year of instruction centered on employment skills and knowledge; the “classroom” is a partner business that can offer suitable employment for the students.
