Junior Job Shadowing Day - "On location"

On Tuesday, March 17, 2009, members of our business community will open their doors to let students observe them for a "day on the job" and learn more about careers they may want to pursue.  This event is sponsored by the College & Career Resource Center.  Career shadowing allows students to see first hand the day-to-day requirements of a selected occupation and to gain information and advice from a professional in that career field.  This practical experience provides insights beyond the classroom and will help students make informed decisions about their future plans.  Juniors will be given information in class in January concerning the job shadows.  Parental permission is required and students are expected to provide their own transportation.

 Space is limited to the first 50 juniors to respond by Monday, January 30, 2009.

If you are in need of any additional information, you may contact our Career Advisor, Mrs. Helen Henderson at 847-755-5657.
