Attention Students: Job Shadow Day  - February 1, 2019

Students, do you want to be exposed to different career paths, match your skills and career interests, develop work skills and be a part of an on-the-job training experience?  Job shadowing is an effective form of job training that allows you to gain knowledge about what an employee does every day.  In order to broaden students’ understanding of career opportunities, we encourage students to observe an occupation outside of their school experience.
