Project SEARCH is an internationally recognized program dedicated to building a workforce that includes people with disabilities. Its business partnerships benefit the individual, the community and the workplace. The program was established in 1996 at Cincinnati Children鈥檚 Hospital Medical Center to address staff turnover in entry-level support positions. The successful model has been replicated in hospitals, banks, universities and businesses in more than 500 locations in the U.S. and abroad.

鈥溋杂ヌ逵辈モ檚 Project SEARCH has had an overwhelmingly positive impact at Truist Arena. I feel that we as the managers have been the true interns during this process.  We鈥檝e grown so much with just the eagerness and positivity that both Alicia and Miles bring in the building each and every morning. As managers, we鈥檝e been able to expand our attention-to-detail, specifically with projects, training skills and overall team positivity. It has definitely been a team effort and we are grateful that we were selected to be part of such a life enhancing experience for Alicia and Miles. We are definitely stronger because of Project Search and I couldn鈥檛 be more proud.鈥 Tammy Fryman, HR Manager/Executive Assistant, Truist Arena
