It was an honor to host the 7th Project SEARCH graduation at Two Bergen County Plaza and recognize the amazing graduating class of 2023!

Project SEARCH launched in Bergen County in 2016 and has since developed into a unique, business-led employment preparation program that utilizes workplace immersion with the end-goal of individualized job development.

A special thank you to all the mentors and supervisors at the County and Bergen New Bridge Medical Center who helped our Project SEARCH interns excel this year, and congratulations to our graduates! Your hard work and dedication has paid off. Best of luck in all you do!
