​Project SEARCH, founded in the US, now spreading around the world, works with schools, employers, parents and students to create “supported internships” that help young people with special needs into full-time paid employment.

This website site is run by Project SEARCH East London – founded by Whitefield Academy Trust and run in partnership with Barts Health NHS Trust and Kaleidoscope Sabre Associates.

If you are an employer who may be able to host our interns, or a school or parent looking thinking about a young person's future, you can find answers to your questions in the sections below.
