Partner Resources
Project SEARC
Project SEARCH Arkansas: ACCESS Initiative is proud to partner with Arkansas Rehabilitation Services and a variety of businesses across the state. These dedicated businesses serve as host sites for our internship programs, helping young adults with disabilities gain hands-on experience and build skills for the workforce.
Transition Employment Program (TEP)
The Transition Employment Program (TEP) is a one-week comprehensive pre-employment transition service held on the campus of the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences, and the Arts (ASMSA) in Hot Springs. TEP was developed by the Arkansas Transition Project and the Arkansas Career Development Center. It was designed to assist high school students with disabilities that have completed the 11th grade in discovering their skills, abilities, interests, strengths, and career goals.
TEP provides career guidance and opportunities for participants to gain employability skills.
