Project SEARCH is a transition to work programme for people aged 18 to 24, with learning disabilities. It effectively takes the classroom into the hospital and teaches interns employability skills on-site, in a real workplace environment.
The programme helps interns to learn real job skills that will prepare them for work by rotating them through a variety of different work placement experiences. This work-based learning is then supported by classroom activities each day, as well as regular discussion and feedback from supervisors throughout the programme.
