Upcoming Job Shadow Opportunities

All NCHS STEM students must complete a total of 8 job shadows as part of their STEM Graduation requirements. 

In a job shadow experience, students have the opportunity to spend some time with a professional working in a STEM-related field, ideally at their workplace. This personalized encounter offers several benefits: 

1. Hands-On Insight: Students observe professionals as they go about their daily tasks, gaining first-hand insight into the challenges and responsibilities of a STEM career. 

2. Mentorship: Students interact with professionals who can answer their questions, offer advice, and provide guidance about potential career paths and educational choices. 

3. Real-World Applications: Job shadow experiences show students how the theories they learn in the classroom translate into real-world applications, giving context to their education. 

4. Networking: Students establish connections with industry experts, potentially leading to future internships, projects, or job opportunities. 

5. In-Depth Learning: Students delve deeply into a specific STEM field, discovering nuances and intricacies that might not be apparent during a field trip. 

Here are the upcoming job shadows!  Please check these slides frequently as opportunities are added all the time.
