Central Wisconsin teen Rapids Khang found an opportunity true to his name at Aspirus Wisconsin Rapids Hospital through Project SEARCH.
Rapids is a typical 19-year-old; he enjoys working out, scrolling Netflix and YouTube, and hanging out with his friends. Like many teens and adults, he also lives with a learning disability. This year, he’s one of 11 students graduating from Project SEARCH at Aspirus Wisconsin Rapids Hospital, one of 29 Wisconsin businesses hosting the program during the 2024-25 school year.
"Initially I heard about Project SEARCH through the teachers at my high school," said Rapids. "The Project SEARCH instructor came over to our school and gave a presentation. My teachers assisted me with completing the application and getting me to skills day."
