Project SEARCH

 

Project SEARCH is a one-year employment preparation program that takes place entirely inside Overlook Medical Center in Summit, NJ. The hallmarks of Project SEARCH are total workplace immersion and a singular goal of competitive employment within the community for every program graduate upon completion of the skills-building experience. We strive to achieve that goal by creating an atmosphere of high expectations. Since the program first launched in 2016, we have successfully placed 73% of our graduates in paid employment positions, including 15 at Overlook (part of Atlantic Health System).

Students are responsible for traveling to and from the program on their own either by driving themselves or getting a ride from a parent, or by using public transportation (NJ Transit or Access Link). In some special circumstances, students may be approved to use district provided transportation. All accepted students receive Intensive travel training during the summer before the program begins.

Applications for the Project SEARCH program are accepted on a rolling basis between November 1st and May 1st.
