Congratulations to the eighth class of graduates from the NIH Project SEARCH program! Project SEARCH at NIH began in the fall of 2010 and has provided workplace training and education to 80 men and women. The 30-week internship program attempts to level the playing field for young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are transitioning from school to work. One of the graduates will soon begin as a part time housekeeper in the Clinical Center and the others are seeking competitive employment in the community.
