Job shadows are work-based learning experiences that introduce a student to a specific job or career by pairing the student with an employee of a business, industry, or agency. Job shadows typically last a half day to a full day. By following or "shadowing" the employee, the student becomes familiar with the duties associated with that occupation, the physical setting of the occupation, and the compatibility of the occupation with his or her own career goals.

An informational interview is an opportunity for a student to ask questions to an industry professional. Think of it as a “reverse job interview.”  This is a wonderful tool used to gather information about a career or specific job.
