Job shadowing allows for students to obtain information on a particular career pathway of their choice by shadowing a professional in their day-to-day work. As a result, students will learn about the education and training needed for the job and will be able to experience a few hours in the job setting with a business professional.

This academic year Juniors and Seniors will be provided the opportunity to participate in a Job Shadow opportunity on Thursday, November 8th and Thursday, February 26, 2008.
