What is Project SEARCH?
Project SEARCH is a one-year, Transition-to-Work skill training program for young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). It is a unique program that is business-led and takes place entirely at the workplace. The Project SEARCH program model was developed at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. It involves an extensive period of skills training and career exploration, innovative adaptations, long-term job coaching, and continuous feedback from teachers, skills trainers, and employers. As a result, at the completion of the training program, students with significant intellectual disabilities are employed in nontraditional, complex and rewarding jobs.
