What is Project SEARCH?
Ready to prove what you’re made of?
Project SEARCH Arkansas: ACCESS Initiative isn’t school. It’s real-world, hands-on, no-shortcuts training. For nine months, you’ll be out there — not just learning, but doing. Three internship rotations in real businesses where you’ll build skills, face challenges, and show people what you’re capable of.
It’s tough. You’ll be pushed. You’ll grow. And when you finish? You won’t be walking out alone — we’ll be right there, helping you land a job you earned and deserve.
This is your shot to level up, to break through, and to build a future on your terms.
