Exceptional Children

The Project SEARCH high school transition program is a one-year internship program for students with disabilities in their last year of high school. It is targeted for students whose goal is competitive employment. The Guilford County programs are located at Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital and High Point Medical Center.  Accepted students are immersed in the workplace to facilitate the acquisition of employability and marketable work skills.  Students participate in three 10-week, unpaid internships to explore a variety of career paths. 

The students work with a team that includes their family, a special education teacher, North Carolina Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services staff, and supported employment specialists who assist the student during this important transition from school to work. With this support, the students will define their employment interests and goals, build their vocational skills, and find competitive employment.
