Speaker - Project SEARCH

Project SEARCH is a high school transition program that provides training and education intended to lead to employment for individuals with disabilities. The program provides real-life work experience to help youth with disabilities make successful transitions from school to adult life. Each student participates in three 10-week internships during the school year. In each rotation the student learns job-specific skills while having the opportunity to put employability skills into practice. Monthly progress meetings are held to help students define their career goal and to plan necessary steps to achieve that goal.

***Childcare is not provided. With the exception of infants, we request that you refrain from bringing children to this event.
