Project SEARCH High School Transition Program

The Indiana Vocational Rehabilitation Services is seeking up to three (3) new local teams to participate in a statewide expansion of the Project SEARCH High School Transition Program. The High School Transition Program is a one-year educational program for students with significant disabilities in their last year of high school. It is targeted for students whose goal is competitive employment. The program takes place in a healthcare or business setting where total immersion in the workplace facilitates the teaching and learning process through continuous feedback and application of new skills. Sustainable means of typical transportation but be available to accommodate offers of hire made to participating student interns.

A typical school day includes:

 Classroom instruction in employability and independent living skills (1-1.5 at start of day  Participation at one or more worksite rotations (minimum 4 hours)  Lunch with work-site peers  Classroom time at end of day with feedback from the instructor and journaling exercise (.75 hours minimum)

Individualized job development and placement occurs throughout the internship experience. Students are given support through on-the-job coaching and work site accommodations with the ultimate goal of independence.

Introduction: The Project SEARCH High School Transition Program is a one-year school-to-work program that takes place entirely at the business. Total workplace immersion facilitates a seamless combination of classroom instruction, career exploration, and on-the-job training and support. The goal for each student is competitive employment of at least twenty (20) hours a week. The program provides real-life work experience combined with training in employability and independent living skills to help youth with significant disabilities make successful transitions from school to productive adult life.

The Project SEARCH model involves an extensive period of training and career exploration, innovative adaptations, long-term job coaching, and continuous feedback from teachers, job coaches, and rotation supervisors. As a result, at the completion of the internship experience, students with significant disabilities can compete for nontraditional, complex and rewarding jobs. Over the long term, this model increases marketability, longevity, earnings and career advancement for people with disabilities. 3 For example, program graduates currently employed at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital make an average salary of $8.18 and work, on average, 33 hours per week. Forty- nine percent have benefits (many more are eligible, but decline benefits), and 72 percent of all placements were successfully employed at 3 months.

Many have been continuously employed for greater than 11 years—since the inception of the program. The Project SEARCH High School Transition Program has been available to students in the Greater Cincinnati area since 1996. With this proposal we plan to increase the reach and impact of the Project SEARCH Indiana High School Transition Program replication initiative.

Of the 74 student interns who completed Project SEARCH Indiana in 2009 (three sites) and 2010 (eight sites) combined, 30% are employed for an average of 29 hours a week at an average salary of $8.45 per hour. This year’s class (2011) is comprised of 100 interns across 10 sites statewide.

In addition to the direct benefits that Project SEARCH provides for people with disabilities, the presence of a Project SEARCH High School Transition program can bring about long-term changes in business culture that have far-reaching positive effects on attitudes about hiring people with disabilities and the range of jobs in which they can be successful. Initially, within a given business, program approval comes from upper management. But when students arrive at the workplace they interact with middle managers and entry-level employees. It is these day-to-day interactions at the ground level that generates widespread acceptance of people with disabilities as individuals and as valued employees. Thus, expanding Project SEARCH to new businesses is an effective way to expand the reach of the program’s philosophy and practices and is, therefore, an extremely effective way of increasing nontraditional employment options for people with disabilities. It is impossible to assess how many people with disabilities will benefit indirectly from the role model provided by the visibility of Project SEARCH employees in programs throughout Indiana. Success breeds success, and over time changes minds and attitudes—not just in businesses with Project SEARCH program sites, but also in other businesses across the state.

Description of High School Transition Program: Program Eligibility: The Project SEARCH High School Transition Program serves students with significant disabilities who are in the last year of their educational program. Specifically, these are students who are on an Individual Education Program (IEP). The most important eligibility criterion is a desire to achieve competitive employment but they must also (among other things) be at least 18 years of age, have an exemplary attendance record, have completed high school credits necessary for graduation, utilize public transportation when available and participate in travel training to ensure successful transition to future employment

4 Program Overview: For each student accepted into the program, commitment of follow-along support is expected. The duration of the internship experience is a full school year, unless a student is hired before completing all rotations. Part of pre-start technical assistance includes exploring the options available to site teams to address the possible attrition of interns due to reasons other than employment. Each program site is based in a place of business. The business provides access to an onsite classroom that can accommodate the number of interns in the program (typically 8-10 students). Each site is staffed by a teacher (instructor) and a lead job coach all day and additionally by the required number of Part-time job coaches necessary to meet the periodic training needs of the students (start of new rotations). The business- driven model, though, is to keep as consistent with the SEARCH personnel as possible to ensure recognition and work-culture familiarity. The required credentials for teachers typically include a special education or vocational education certificate but the school system determines this. All school and provider staff must meet the hiring criteria of the host business and successfully complete the business’ orientation requirements.

Admissions, Orientation, and Assessment: Students are referred to the program through their schools and/or VR Counselor and apply in the year prior to entering. The local Project SEARCH Indiana teacher, VR Counselor, and provider staff carry out the selection process with input from the business liaison. It is recommended student preparation prior to selection include a tour of the workplace with visits to potential rotation sites if possible. It is also recommended the local teacher and or provider staff has a home visit with potential student interns. These visits are an opportunity for students and their teacher/provider staff to get to know each other. It is also a time when the local Project SEARCH Indiana representative can discuss program goals and expectations with students and their parents and answer questions regarding roles, responsibilities and expectations.

Students are required to travel independently (i.e. bus, family, taxi) for project SEARCH as they will be expected to for their adult jobs. The provider staff will work with the students and their families to begin travel training over the summer. Transportation to the business must be addressed prior to the start of the internship semester. Since students and their families elect to join Project SEARCH Indiana, the school is not required to provide transportation. It is recognized that this may result in some potential interns opting out of Project SEARCH; it may even be a factor that causes some providers and schools to realize participation in Project SEARCH is not viable in their situation.

Once the school year begins, the first few weeks of the program are focused on student assessment and familiarization with a new environment through new hire orientation. Students undergo a specially designed career assessment with their teacher and/or provider. Orientation to the business is complimented by introduction

5 to soft skills required in the workplace, dress and behavior expectations of specific departments and other facets of the work cultured to be encountered.

Classroom Curriculum: Throughout the school year, the day begins with a minimum one-hour classroom lesson based on a functional curriculum that stresses employability and independent-living skills1. Classroom activities are designed around seven major focus areas: self-esteem, communication, career exploration and job search, interviewing skills, job retention, money management, and independent living. Nutrition, budgeting, and workplace attitude are examples of the specific topics covered. The curriculum is flexible and allows teachers to design lessons around the core topics and to adjust the curriculum based on specific student and employer needs. For example, in the beginning of the year lessons are focused on general skills needed to function in the workplace, that is, learning how to get around, making good choices in the cafeteria, and appropriate dress and grooming. In addition, the curriculum can be customized to the students’ specific career assessment and outcomes to insure a meaningful and successful experience. The day ends in the classroom as well with curriculum reinforced, the work day experiences debriefed, and the journaling of events.

Linkages: Local Project SEARCH Indiana staff must be familiar with community resources and routinely assist students in accessing the services they need. All students are linked with a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor. Many students and families will be introduced to such entities as BDDS and BINS as appropriate to individual situations. Additional linkages to appropriate community services are made as the need arises.

Worksite Rotations: Students build communication and problem-solving skills, as well as job-specific skills, through worksite rotations. These are unpaid student internships—analogous to the clinical rotations that are part of every medical school curriculum. Potential student rotation sites are identified through a continuous, collaborative process involving the teacher, the provider staff, the business liaison, and specific worksite supervisors. Technical assistance for this can be accessed from the Project SEARCH Indiana state team. For the students, work rotations typically begin following the orientation period. The internship class is phased into their rotation starts in small groups (typically 3) to make training manageable. The instructor works with those not yet in rotation while provider staff train until the number reduces to the point that the teacher job trains as well. Each intern experiences a total of 3, 8-10 week rotation periods by the end of the program. Weeks in between rotations are used to write thank you, update resumes, work on portfolios, etc. The student, teacher, VR counselor and provider work together to match interns with rotations based on each student’s previous work experience, interests and skills. Students are supported by Project Search Indiana staff in these initial contacts and in the scheduling of a pre-rotation interview.

6 Job Placement and Community Connections: During the last few months of the program the emphasis is on refining skills, defining a career goal and carrying out individualized job placement for 20 hour or more positions for any interns not already employed by the host or other business. Job development and placement occurs based on the student’s experiences, strengths, and skills. Linkages to appropriate services in the community are critical at this stage, as students prepare to graduate from the program, to insure a successful transition to employment and adult life. In most situations assistance with necessary adaptations required to perform a specific job, job coaching, and long-term follow along are arranged. Upon satisfactory completion of the program (95% or better attendance, good attitude, successful skill acquisition at each rotation site) students have created a Career Portfolio that will help with job search. The contents of this portfolio will include a resume, letters of recommendation, any awards or special recognition received while in the program or other items that will help students with job search.

Project Site Activities and Requirements:

1. New Project SEARCH Indiana sites will be required to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with IIDC to respect all property and requirements as outlined in the Project Search licensure agreement. Once the MOU has been signed the site will receive a “start-up kit” to aid in replication of the Project SEARCH Indiana model. Start-up items will include program curriculum, job analyses, program guidelines, accommodations and adaptations, funding strategies, sample contracts, presentation materials, and videos. All Project Search Indiana sites are expected to provide electronic copies of any site specific versions of materials or newly generated products used in the Project SEARCH Indiana efforts to our statewide coordinator for archiving and for distribution to all Indiana sites through updated “start up kits” and yearly addenda.

2. The Indiana Project SEARCH model depends on strong partnerships between business, education providers, social service agencies, vocational rehabilitation services, and IIDC as well as Project Search Nationally. The implementation team is expected to meet at least monthly. Applicants are responsible for establishing a local team that includes the following partners.

a. Local School District; one full-time, certified teacher b. Vocational Rehabilitation; there will be an assigned vocational rehabilitation counselor (to be determined by Vocational Rehabilitation Services) c. Supported Employment Provider; 1 site project coordinator, a lead job coach and other job coaches as needed d. Employer/business site; Project Search business liaison (10%of time) e. IIDC: the statewide coordinator or designee

7 3. In order to apply for this phase of the Project SEARCH Indiana statewide roll-out, a provider site must have a school partner already committed to participation including the provision of a full-time instructor at the business site.

4. The Project SEARCH Indiana State Coordinator will assist the provider in developing a marketing plan. Local sites are expected to identify 2-3 potential business partners and supply names and titles of possible champions within each organization. The provider is expected not to contact the businesses prior to the application process so as not to build expectations prior to being awarded the Project SEARCH Indiana designation. The businesses selected must be of sufficient size to have a variety of rotations. As part of their commitment to the project, the business will need to provide an on-site classroom for the project and a liaison to help build bridges with internal managers, department heads, etc.

5. Project SEARCH Indiana sites will be required to attend provided trainings as available in addition to the Project SEARCH Coordinators quarterly statewide meetings and monthly implementation team meetings.

6. Sites are required to serve 8-12 students per year once established; it is expected that all students will obtain competitive employment during or after participation in the project of a minimum 20 hours a week. This number can be modified to meet the needs of the school and/or business but should not exceed 12.

Funding VR will provide start up funds to each local Project SEARCH Indiana site in the amount of $12,500. Funds may be used to cover expenses related to materials and equipment required for the Project SEARCH site (i.e. digital camera, laminator, video cam, portfolio binders, etc.) for staff training, and staff time for the development of the business site, rotation development, and transportation training, etc. The attached application requires a budget which itemizes proposed expenditures.

In addition, VR is funding a full-time statewide Project Coordinator to assist the Project Search sites in start-up activities. The Project Coordinator and the Project SEARCH Indiana Implementation Advisory Team (Mike Hedden, Jean Updike, Theresa Koleszar, Shirley Olwine, and Teresa Grossi will work with all site teams by providing ongoing technical assistance, training and problem-solving for project evaluation and sustainability.

The intent is to create a sustainable service delivery system that draws on existing resources and strong partnerships as these are the defining characteristics of the Project SEARCH model.

8 Vocational Rehabilitation will provide funding through its customary supported employment contracts for job coaching services required by participants in Project SEARCH Indiana. The fee schedule is attached.

Milestone Cost 1. Selection and Orientation $1500.00 2. First Internship $1000.00 3. Second Internship $1000.00 4. Third Internship $1000.00 5. Placement $1500.00 6. Closure $3000.00 TOTAL $9000.00
