    An award-winning scheme to help Bradford students with learning difficulties find employment has celebrated the graduation of eight more interns.

    Project SEARCH, which is based at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, helps students study for an employability skills qualification through classroom teaching and 900 hours of work experience.

    This is the fifth year the successful programme has been run in Bradford. Since its launch, 44 interns have graduated and 29 have found employment. The Trust currently employs 11 Bradford Project SEARCH graduates.

    This year’s graduates, who all have learning difficulties, began their journey in September 2017, and have completed three placements each in a variety of roles and settings.
