Project SEARCH is a one-year, high school transition program that provides skills training and work experience for young adults with disabilities ages 18–21. The goal of the program is to prepare students for competitive employment by giving them the opportunity to complete three different internships at the Department of Education during the school year. Components of the program include classroom training, job coaching, a business liaison at ED, and a supervisor and mentor at each worksite. Project SEARCH is in its 15th year, but this is only the second year that it has been used in a federal agency. This is the first year it has been implemented at ED.
