Project SEARCH has been a life-changing experience for me. I have achieved a lot and for anyone considering applying I would really recommend it.
Project SEARCH graduate
Entry Criteria
Applicants must:
- Be aged between 16 and 24 years old on the 1st September

How To Apply
The programme has limited spaces each year, so applying early is key:
- Request, complete and submit application form
- If shortlisted, invited to a ‘skills assessment day’
- If shortlisted, invited to interview
- If successful, place offered (on conditional or unconditional basis)
- The place is also reliant on a successful consultation as the EHCP Annual Review process still applies. Project Search must be named in Section I of the EHCP.
- ‘Reserve’ list, if successful but a late applicant
