Mason's Story
From a young age, Mason always desired to work in a kitchen professionally. His family supported his career goals but wanted him to have the chance to explore other options too.
Through Goodwill NCW’s Project SEARCH site at ThedaCare in Appleton, Mason participated in three 10-week internships designed to prepare people with disabilities to enter the workforce. During the program, Mason gained hands-on work experience as an integrated member of various departments and confirmed his love of food service. After graduating from Project SEARCH, he was hired in dining services at ThedaCare.
