  • Intern Application

  • East Bay Innovation's Project SEARCH programs are a one-year paid internship and job training program for adults with disabilities that are committed to seeking competitive employment in the community.

    This employment and training program model features total immersion in a business setting in which interns complete up to three rotations (approximately 14-15 weeks each) in various departments within one of our three host business locations. It also includes classroom instructional time for professional skill building and career exploration opportunities — all while providing on-site skills training to support the goal of independence.

    The primary goal of the program is to prepare each intern for competitive employment (a minimum of 14 hours per week) upon completion of the program.
