READY TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP TOWARD YOUR FUTURE?
At Science Prep Academy, we believe our students deserve more than a diploma—they deserve the opportunity to build a career, gain independence, and discover what they’re capable of!
Project SEARCH at Banner Desert Medical Center is a 9-month internship program designed for young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are ready to experience the world of work.
Students gain hands-on job experience, build workplace and independent-living skills, develop confidence, and explore career opportunities alongside professionals at one of Arizona’s leading healthcare systems.
Students may gain experience in departments such as:
• Culinary
• Environmental Services
• Guest Services
• NICU
• OB
• Patient Transport
• Supply Chain
The ultimate goal: competitive employment and a successful transition into adult life!
If you have a student who is 18–22 years old, completing their final year of high school, and ready to take that next step, Project SEARCH could be the opportunity they’ve been waiting for!
