This was to prepare Interns for the upcoming Project SEARCH year. Attendance was mandatory. Does anyone do anything like this, they would not mind sharing? If so, what is the outline/curriculum of the sessions?

The clients range from ages 16-18. A majority of our interns are encouraged to participate in this program. It gives me an insight to how they handle everyday issues, how they work with a team, redirection etc. It also gives me and the interns a chance to develop a relationship, so they feel more comfortable when entering PS.
