The goal of Project SEARCH is for all participants to obtain competitive employment upon completion of their internship year. Students must complete all high school course requirements prior to beginning their internship year.
Interns remain enrolled at their home campus and follow the SAISD school calendar during their internship. All instruction is provided at our host business, Children’s Hospital of San Antonio. Interns will have the opportunity to interview for and complete rotations in a variety of departments within the hospital.
Recruitment for the following year’s internship cycle begins in the Fall Semester with Skills Assessments and Candidate Interviews taking place in the Spring.
For more information, please contact your high school’s Transition Specialist.
