Job shadowing is an important part of the career exploration process. What better way to learn about a profession than to visit a place of employment and ask questions firsthand? The best part about a job shadow is that a student usually comes away from this experience with a strong feeling of whether or not that was an appropriate career choice for them. Either way, it is a beneficial experience. These must be pre-approved by Mr. Uppena.
