Description
- Overview:
- Job Shadowing is an important part of Academic and Career Planning. Job shadows typical take place in high school and/or the early years of college. In order for everyone involved in the job shadow experience, it is necessary to take the time to prepare our students prior to sending them out for a job shadow. Students need to research careers and companies. If students set up their own job shadows, they need to have instruction on how to make the phone call or how to make the request in email or in person. The ask should be modeled and role played to help students prepare. Students need to prepare and ask questions during the job shadow experience. Getting feedback from the job shadow mentor and students is helpful in making improvements for all involved as well as making lasting relationships for future shadows. And, don't forget the importance of a thank you card from the student as well as the school.
