    The application process:

    1. Once the application is submitted, Ms. Adanti will contact the student and their family to discuss the Project SEARCH program.
    2. After determining if the student is a good candidate for the program, Ms. Adanti will contact the student's guidance counselor or lead teacher to set up an interview with the prospective Project SEARCH intern.
    3. After the interview, Ms. Adanti will email the student, their guidance counselor, any staff involved with the student applying to the Project SEARCH program, and the student's family to inform them if they have been accepted to the program.
    4. The student and the family are responsible for completing all the forms required for the Project SEARCH program and setting up an intake meeting with ACCES- VR ( if necessary).  Also, all interns MUST get an NYS ID. 
    5. All interns are required to get a background check from the City of Rochester. Ms. Adanti will ask for the last 4 numbers of the intern's social security number and submit the necessary information to the Human Resources Department in the City of Rochester. 
    6.  A CSE meeting will be scheduled to do a Program change. 
    7. After the Program Change meeting is complete, Ms. Adanti will contact the student and their family to set up RTS travel training dates for the Summer of 2025.
