The Full Form of QUEST is Quality, Understanding, Excellence, Success, and Training.

In partnership with the Division of Rehabilitation Services (DORS), the QUEST Internship Program affords State agencies the opportunity to provide mentoring services for persons with disabilities.  To be eligible for the program, applicants must be clients of the Division of Rehabilitation Services.  

QUEST internships are voluntary and unpaid. Participants may receive DORS support for any expenses incurred over and above their usual living expenses because of participation in Quest, such as funds for transportation. Internships are typically three-month assignments in a Maryland State agency.  Positions may be full-time or part-time, and may be extended beyond the three-month period.

QUEST interns receive valuable training and experience, while enhancing their knowledge, skills and abilities.  Many successful participants of the program continue on to obtain careers in the public or private sectors.

Please contact your designated Division of Rehabilitation Services (DORS) counselor for more information.
