Project SEARCH is an exciting and innovative new program that provides work and career development opportunities for adults and students with disabilities.

Project SEARCH has two primary components: an Adult Employment Program and a High School Transition Program.

The Adult Employment Program: The Arc Baltimore serves as the single point of entry for adults with disabilities seeking new job opportunities. The Adult Employment Program coordinator identifies current job openings and assists potential candidates with the recruitment process at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. The Arc provides on-the-job support (i.e. job coaching/training) and develops adaptations or accommodations that may be necessary for any selected Project SEARCH job candidate to master the given job requirements.

High School Transition Program:  The High School Transition Program is a one-year education and internship program for students with disabilities who are in their last year of high school in Baltimore City Public Schools. The program targets students whose main goal is to obtain a job with competitive pay.

For any questions, or to find out more information about our Project SEARCH program, please contact Joanna Falcone, Director of Project SEARCH at 410-706-5174.
