Project SEARCH Information Nights – February 29 and March 7
In 1996, Project SEARCH was launched at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Centre. Project SEARCH is a unique, business-led, one-year, transition-to-work program for young people with developmental or intellectual disabilities.
The main objective is to prepare students for employment with job skills training through a combination of classroom instruction and hands-on career training. This program takes place entirely at the workplace.
Join us in-person or online at Project SEARCH Information Nights! Learn how youth with disabilities can become involved in this unique transition to work internship program for the 2025-26 school year.
