Participants are Seminole County Public School graduates having earned, but deferred receipt of a Standard Diploma—Access Points and are between the ages of 18—21 with developmental or intellectual disabilities and are on an Individual Education Plan (IEP).

​Project SEARCH places our students in internships at a Seminole County business site (Advent Health and the Hilton both in Altamonte Springs) where they receive intense employment training and hands-on experience under the guidance of a teacher and job coach. The goal is to eventually secure employment.
