Project Search is a City of Edinburgh Council supported initiative to assist disabled young adults with pathways to employment through work experience placements.
It is a partnership between the Council, Edinburgh College and Intowork (the supported employment provider).
They recently concluded their first year of the programme with a successful graduation ceremony that highlighted the progress each intern has made as a result of the opportunity.

To be eligible, you must:
- Be 16 -24 years old
