Project Search
The New York State Developmental Disabilities Planning
Council (DDPC) is announcing the availability of funding in the amount of
$80,000 per year for each of two years, to implement a Project SEARCH youth
transition and employment demonstration grant in downstate New York. The
intent of this project is to demonstrate the efficacy of implementing a
business sector employment approach in increasing the quality and quantity
of school-to-work transition outcomes for students with developmental
disabilities. If additional funds become available, the DDPC reserves the
right to approve additional projects under the authority of this Request for
Proposal (RFP).
Project SEARCH is a high school transition program
which provides training and education leading to competitive, integrated
employment for individuals with disabilities. The Project SEARCH approach
was started in 1996 with Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center
(CCHMC). It is a “business/employment sector” focused approach, targeting
careers in a growth industry, such as the health care, environmental
services, technology, banking, government and higher education business
sectors. The cornerstone of the Project SEARCH approach is industry
immersion.
