Career Programs and Job Shadowing
We work with students to bring career opportunities to life through experiential learning. Students will have opportunities to hear from classroom career speakers related to the subject of study and take field trips pertaining to career interests. Students are also able to seek out shadowing and internship opportunities to see a "day-in-the-life" of a possible career path.
