Project Search students describe internships at Edmonds hospital and workplace skills
Summary
Project Search students presented to the board about internships at the Spearhead Edmonds Hospital, describing roles from sterile processing to front desk and kitchen work, and said the program builds job skills and confidence; board members praised the students and noted the work is not replaceable by AI.
Students in the Project Search program spoke to the board about internships they have completed at the Spearhead Edmonds Hospital, outlined their goals and described hands‑on responsibilities.
Students identified internships in sterile processing, the cancer institute, warehouse duties, front desk work, kitchen roles, security and linen‑room duties. Presenters described learning to use EPIC at the front desk, stocking and restocking supplies, operating in the warehouse and food service, and interacting with patients and staff.
Several students shared career goals that ranged from publishing picture books to becoming a certified aviation mechanic, and one student said the program helped build conversation and workplace skills. Board members praised the presentation; the board president observed that the interpersonal skills developed through internships are "things AI can't do," and directors encouraged the students to continue building job skills.
The presentation concluded with board members thanking students, inviting photos, and opening a brief Q&A during which student advisers and board members lauded the program. The district and student advisers described Project Search as a pathway to community internships and future employment for participating students.
