About Project SEARCH

Johnson County Project SEARCH is an education and employment program for people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities who are 18 years of age or older and are interested in community employment. 

Project SEARCH was developed at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, which is still the administrative headquarters for the organization. Project SEARCH is a business-led, one-year internship program for young people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Most participants are enrolled while transitioning from high school to work.

The hallmark of Project SEARCH is total workplace immersion, which facilitates a seamless combination of classroom instruction, career exploration, hands-on training leading to the acquisition of marketable work skills. Project SEARCH's goal is to secure competitive, integrated employment for every program participant.
