Project SEARCHTM at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) was launched in September 2009. The project operates in partnership between Monroe 2-Orleans BOCES, Arc of Monroe, ACCES-VR, Finger Lakes DDSO, and is coordinated by the Institute for Innovative Transition.
Eleven students are currently participating in Project SEARCHTM at URMC for the 2011-2012 academic school year. Students arrive on-site at URMC at 7:30am each school day and begin their day in the classroom where they focus on work readiness skills.
Project SEARCHTM at URMC is currently accepting student applications for the current school year. For more information, contact Susan Pratt at Monroe 2-Orleans BOCES at 585-352-2450.
