Job-shadowing

Job-shadowing

When job-shadowing, students:

  • Are placed in a workplace to interact with and observe employees.
  • Learn more about the nature of jobs and work environments.
  • Are guided by a formal written training plan that defines specific academic and workplace skills they will master.
  • Get in-depth exposure to both careers and workplaces.
  • Three colleagues gather around a large table, reviewing architectural blueprints together in a bright office.
  • An instructor guides two students through a manufacturing facility, pointing out details on a complex engine.
