Welcome! SITE IS LAUNCHED! Continuing to construct/revise!
Job shadowing is an activity typically reserved for Juniors and Seniors. It is a NEXT-STEP activity for those students who have done their homework and are adding to their career exploration knowledge.
Please recognize that these career professionals are taking time out of their day, time away from their roles, responsibilities and opportunity to earn money for their business to spend time with you. Please recognize and respect this sacrifice by being prepared to ask insightful questions that go beyond a basic google search (meaning, have you taken advantage of the wealth of information on the internet about your career interests?)
GENESIS HEALTH SYSTEMS is our go-to organization for most health career job shadows. In response to the pandemic, they have suspended all job shadows until further notice. Fortunately, there are a plethora of virtual job shadows and other health career videos available via the internet until Genesis reopens to job shadowing.
During a job shadow, students go to a business workplace and observe, sometimes participate, in the business host's career. Experience usually includes a tour of the facilities and an opportunity to ask questions that remain unanswered. Please be aware that some career fields are difficult if not impossible to arrange an on-site visit due to the danger, and/or high level of confidentiality or security. In these cases virtual job shadows or a Zoom meeting will be arranged.
Mr. Schneider will email you when the job shadow is tentatively scheduled to stop by and pick up three Job Shadow forms. These MUST be returned to him the day PRIOR to the job shadow for an excused absence from class.
