Shadowing Program
for Seniors
What is the Shadowing Program?
The goal is to create a “shadowing” opportunity for students.
Shadowing will provide students with an opportunity to spend a day with a mentor at a job site in a career that the student may find interesting.
Students will be with the mentor from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. or as arranged. All activities will be coordinated by the school and business representatives. Transportation to the work site will be the student’s responsibility.
Student Objectives
