Real Work, Real Skills: Summit School's Laurenhill Campus Partners with HRS Global

At Summit School's Laurenhill Campus, the school's high school level environment for neurodivergent students, preparing young people for the workforce is woven into everyday life. Academics and life skills go hand in hand, and when the opportunity arose to partner with HRS Global on a real professional contract, it was a natural fit.

Students have taken on a quality control mandate with HRS Global, inspecting pairs of earbuds to verify that every unit is correctly packaged and fully functional before it moves forward. It's precise, methodical work, and that's exactly the point.

Work readiness for neurodivergent young adults isn't just about mastering a task. It's about internalizing what it means to be responsible for something, to maintain accuracy across repetition, and to understand that your contribution is part of something larger. The HRS Global contract delivers all of that in a context that is both structured and real. Every earbud that passes through a student's hands represents a standard they are accountable to, and Summit's educators report that students rise to meet it.

This kind of hands-on, contract-based experience reflects Summit's broader approach to preparing neurodivergent youth for employment. Whether through internal work stages on the TECC Campus, the Summit Café at Maimonides, or external placements through the Summit Empowers initiative, the school has long understood that the most meaningful learning happens when the work is genuine. The HRS Global partnership is a clear reminder of what becomes possible when a school and a business come together around a shared belief in what neurodivergent students can achieve.
