Project Summary
In September of 2012, the Montgomery County Government launched Project SEARCH-Montgomery in partnership with SEEC, The Ivymount School, The Maryland Developmental Disabilities Administration, and the Maryland Department of Rehabilitative Services.
Project SEARCH-Montgomery was initiated by County Executive, Isiah Leggett after visiting the Project SEARCH-NIH program in 2011.
This project is based across multiple government departments and facilities providing real workplace experiences to enhance the acquisition of marketable work skills and the development of robust resumes. In addition, interns benefit from classroom instruction at the work site to learn and practice fundamental skills to meet workplace expectations.
