Project SEARCH

The State of Michigan Project SEARCH is a program that is providing local high school students with disabilities the opportunity to train, gain and maintain employment through businesses and organization opportunities across the nation. This is the first year the program is offered at the State and we've taken a big step forward in creating more opportunities for people with disabilities and we look forward to the future growth of Project SEARCH within state government.
