We are excited to bring technology to the interns of Project Search - New Mexico, Project SEARCH.
Looking forward to working with the team and hearing about your achievements.
Thanks to our partners New Mexico Division of Vocational Rehabilitation for supporting this deployment.

NMDVR Program Manager Erik Padilla joined Project Search - New Mexico interns from Gadsden Independent School District this week when they received new tablets with avail software. Avail is a virtual job coach that will help the interns in their rotations at The Hive Education's New Mexico Children First Learning Center in Sunland Park.

NMDVR collaborates with the New Mexico Department of Health Developmental Disabilities Supports Division and the UNM Center for Development and Disability-Partners for Employment on successful Project SEARCH programs throughout the state.

👋 Meet Lauria!

Lauria has worked as a Buswoman at Viola's Restaurant in Los Alamos, New Mexico, since November 2022. She used avail to help her learn pre-employment skills, and once she accepted her position with Viola's, she used avail to learn her work skills! In June 2023, Lauria shared her story using avail during the 2023 APSE Conference and continues to use the avail digital tool today! 📱
