 The Project SEARCH High School Transition Program is a one-year program designed to prepare students with disabilities who are in their last year of high school eligibility for entry-level employment. The program builds essential job-specific and employability skills needed to gain and maintain meaningful employment, lead productive lives and become integrated in an adult work environment.
The program integrates career exploration with a variety of worksite experiences, skill levels and related coursework. Through this unique employer-led training program, both intensive classroom and skills training will occur in the employment setting. This partnership with Otterbein-Lebanon Retirement Community allows students to interact with staff and residents. Classes are held on the Otterbein campus.
