Project SEARCH - Brochure
There are 16 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.
Three (3) new Project SEARCH locations opened during the 2024-25 year! They include Waterbury Hospital, Backus Hospital in Norwich and Masonicare in Wallingford. Additional new programs are expected for the 2025-26 year. Stay tuned!
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.
