Junior Job Shadow
What is Junior Job Shadow Day?
Junior Job Shadow is a structured career exploration activity where a student follows an employee at their workplace to learn more about a particular occupation or industry. The purpose of job shadowing is to help students explore a range of career options. For this to be a meaningful experience, a student should shadow someone who works in a career that is of potential interest to that student.
Job shadowing helps students accomplish the following goals:
Gain information about possible future career interests
Observe the daily routine of their site mentor
Observe the system of the mentor’s company or business
Gain insight on the academic, technical and personal skills required by a particular occupation
Gain an understanding of the connection between school and work
Gain information to assist students in goal setting and education planning.
