About this resource

About

Project SEARCH was founded at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and has grown into an international network of over 600 sites across the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, and Australia. The programme is a partnership between businesses, school districts, Vocational Rehabilitation agencies, and Developmental Disability organisations.

What It Does

Students spend their final year of school eligibility entirely inside a host business, rotating through three 10–12-week internships in different departments. A special education teacher and a job coach provide on-site instruction, helping interns build marketable and transferable skills. Active job placement support follows programme completion.

Who It Helps

High school students with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) in their last year of eligibility, and young adults aged 18–30 who qualify for Vocational Rehabilitation or Developmental Disability services. Particularly designed for individuals with intellectual disability, autism, and other developmental disabilities.
