PROJECT SEARCH

Project Search is a public school that is part of the West Bloomfield School District school district, located in WEST BLOOMFIELD, MI with about 6 students.

Project Search, located at 6777 W. Maple Rd. in West Bloomfield, Michigan, is not a traditional academic school but rather a unique, business-led transition program designed for young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The program operates through a partnership between local businesses, school districts, and vocational rehabilitation agencies. Its primary mission is to provide students in their final year of high school eligibility with immersive, hands-on job training and career development in a real-world work environment.

Participants in the program spend their day on-site at a host business, where they rotate through various departments to learn competitive, transferable job skills. By focusing on workplace social skills, problem-solving, and professional independence, Project Search aims to bridge the gap between education and long-term employment. The ultimate goal of the program is to ensure that students secure permanent, community-based jobs, empowering them to achieve financial independence and meaningful integration into the workforce.
