Nurse Erin Riehle decides that a hospital that serves young people with developmental disabilities should also hire them — and thus founds Project SEARCH to provide this group training and employment opportunities. Today there are 500 Project SEARCH programs across the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and Australia, and thousands of graduates are employed.
