Project SEARCH is a one-year high school transition program which provides training and education leading to employment for individuals with disabilities.  Each student applies and is accepted to the program through a selection committee process.  All students must be eligible for services with the Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities. Students must be seniors who have already met their graduation requirements.

Managers at the internship sites work with the Project SEARCH instructor and job coaches to support the students.  Students get continual feedback from the internship manager, co-workers, and Project SEARCH staff.  Students end their day by reflection, problem solving, planning, and journaling their key learnings.  The ultimate goal upon completion of the program is competitive employment utilizing the skills learned on the internships and throughout the program.
