Spring Break Job Shadowing
Program - Continuing this year will be a job
shadowing program that will take place during Spring Break (March 10-14,
2008). This program will allow students to receive a firsthand look at
the workplace, make valuable networking contacts and have the
opportunity to see how classroom learning can be applied to real world
situations. Students will explore possible career fields through limited
observation and discussions with professionals at a selected job site.
Students will choose an industry of interest and Career Planning will
match them with an employer that has volunteered to host a student.
Between the two an agreed upon day and time will be determined. This
program will only take up one day of an employers time. If you are
interested in hosting a student please email
Career Planning. For more
information view the
Employer
FAQ's. |

Spring Break
Job Shadowing Program -
Job Shadowing is a
career exploration strategy that allows students to spend a short,
clearly defined period of time with an employer at a
company/organization site. Job shadowing provides a first-hand
look at the world of work and helps participants make decisions about
careers, majors and courses. Students generally spend one day
during spring break shadowing their sponsors in their professional
roles. The specific day and length of time are agreed upon by the
student and his/her sponsor. |
