Berkeley County Government issued the following announcement on September 23.
The 2021-2022 school year has officially kicked off for the four students enrolled in the newest class of the Project SEARCH program. On Wednesday, students engaged in a special meet-and-greet event, where they introduced themselves and met with County leadership. Berkeley County is honored to hold this program for the fourth consecutive year.
Project SEARCH is a unique initiative that prepares young people with special needs for success in employment opportunities. Throughout the school year, these students work in different departments at Berkeley County Government, developing vital lifelong skills and training to prepare them for future jobs.
Over the years, this initiative has been a huge success in Berkeley County thanks to support from County leadership and a partnership with Berkeley County School District.
Berkeley County looks forward to seeing this new group of students flourish and shine as they help out around the County over the next several months!
