It is the generosity of the local business community which makes the Job Shadowing experience a success for our students. Job Shadowing involves active participation of the student within a local business for the purpose of gathering information, as well as experiencing first hand the expectations of employers within different career areas.

It is through the dialogue between the “businessperson” and our student that the reality of the working world is able to come to light.
