Project Search - Brochure
There are 14 Project SEARCH host site/programs run by DDS provider agencies and school partners in Connecticut. Project SEARCH is a nine-month internship training program, available to school transition age students and young adults eligible for DDS services, who need more intensive employment skills training.
There are four new Project SEARCH locations starting in September 2023 for the 2023-2024 program year. There are multiple new Project SEARCH sites in development slated to start in the 2024-2025 program year. Stay tuned for updates on these expanding employment training opportunities!
DDS providers qualified to offer Transition Services interested in starting their own Project SEARCH program can contact EDS team member and CT Project SEARCH Coordinator Brian Gresko at brian.gresko@ct.gov to determine next steps.
