Professional Education and Training

An important part of Project SEARCH’s mission is education through which we can share best practices and promote continuous improvement of our programs. Our goal is to provide the tools and technical assistance needed to maximize employment outcomes for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Project SEARCH Academy

Project SEARCH Academy offers a collection of fast-paced online training
courses that deliver invaluable information to help you implement the program model to its full
potential. These courses are available to personnel at licensed Project SEARCH sites.

If you’re interested in increasing your knowledge of Project SEARCH, this is the place to start. Courses
cover the basics of Project SEARCH…how Project SEARCH works…how to get a program site up and
running…how to identify learning opportunities for interns…and much more. If you’re new to the
program, these courses can serve as an introduction to get you going, while even experienced staffers
can use the courses to refresh their skill or dive deeper into specific topics. We’ll be adding new courses
