PROJECT SEARCH MAYO CLINIC

Project Search Mayo Clinic is a Title I public high school that is part of the Rochester Public School District school district, located in ROCHESTER, MN with about 10 students. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education.

Project SEARCH at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, is a unique, business-led transition program designed specifically for students with disabilities who are in their final year of high school. Rather than a traditional classroom setting, the program is hosted entirely within the Mayo Clinic campus. It focuses on immersive, hands-on career training, where students rotate through various departments to gain real-world experience, develop transferable job skills, and build professional confidence in a medical and corporate environment.

The primary goal of the program is to prepare participants for competitive, integrated employment upon graduation. Throughout the school year, students receive instruction on employability skills and independent living, while simultaneously working with job coaches and mentors to refine their vocational abilities. By leveraging the resources and culture of a world-class healthcare institution, Project Search Mayo Clinic helps bridge the gap between education and the workforce, empowering students to secure meaningful, long-term employment in their community.
