The Prince William Project SEARCH is a collaborative effort between PWCS, DARS, and Didlake Inc. The Project SEARCH Transition-to-Work Program is a unique, business-led, one-year employment preparation program that takes place entirely at the workplace. Total workplace immersion facilitates a seamless combination of classroom instruction, career exploration, and hands-on training through worksite internships. Students participate in three 10-12-week unpaid internships at the Novant UVA Health Systems, Prince William Medical Center.
Any student with a disability, aged 18-21, who has completed the requirements for an Applied Studies Diploma, has an open case with the Virginia Department of Aging and Rehabilitative Services, and meets the eligibility requirements for state and local developmental disabilities follow along services may be eligible. Course participation is not determined by an IEP team decision; there is an application and selection process.
