Project SEARCH for teens and transition students ages 17+

What is Project SEARCH?

Project SEARCH is a business led collaboration to help young adults with disabilities gain and maintain employment through training and career exploration.

 

Students with disabilities are able to opt for a workforce alternative in their last year of high school, or young adults who have completed high school may be eligible for Project SEARCH. Project SEARCH is a 9-12 month long program, providing total immersion in a large community business. Each day, students report to the business, learn employability skills in the classroom and job skills through their rotating internships. Each student goes through 3-4 rotations of internships. Students and their teams meet monthly for progress reports and to continue defining their career goals.

It’s because of gifts to the Aptiv Foundation that children and adults with disabilities are reaching their goals.  It is only through the vision and generosity of contributions to the Aptiv Foundation that it becomes possible to provide the level of support each person needs and deserves. Contributions go to funding facility improvements, program equipment, and other tools to help people with disabilities live, learn and work in our communities.
