Project SEARCH

Project SEARCH at Springfield College, in collaboration with New England Business Associates and Department of Developmental Services, provides unique opportunities for job exploration and skill building to interns with the goal of obtaining a sustainable career. A nine-month unpaid internship program, Project SEARCH connects individuals with disabilities with area businesses to provide the interns marketable entry-level experience in the workforce.

Interns will participate in three, ten-week internships over nine months in various departments across campus, resulting in an improved understanding of the workforce and skills they will need to succeed. The interns will receive onsite training for their jobs while attending a daily class to help facilitate the transition from high school to a productive adult life.
