Job Shadow
Opportunities
I realized that this world could be mine, I could work in a business, I could be a success; and someday I will. I learned from both these experiences that the world is overflowing with opportunities, and that it is just up to me to grab one.

Job Shadow Day is an exciting day for both students and employers. Each year at the beginning of February and continuing through the school year, students spend part of the day in the workplace "shadowing" employees as they go through a normal day on the job.
Students engage in early career exploration that leads to better-informed career choices. Employers have the opportunity to present industry trends and career options to potential future employees in their own locales. The program is
designed to help students explore and understand the relationship between the skills they learn in school and their application in the workplace.
