Work-based Learning

Work-based Learning is an integral educational strategy within the Career and Technical (CTE) system that provides students with real-life work experiences allowing them to apply academic and technical skills while developing crucial employability skills.

Job Shadowing
Students grades 5th thru 12th are welcome to explore Job Shadowing opportunities with school and parent approval.   

Job shadowing is an opportunity for students to follow and observe a professional for a short period of time, such as a day.

Job shadowing introduces a student or group of students to a specific job or career and gives them a better idea of what professionals do each day and whether or not they can see themselves following that career path. 

Finding a job shadowing opportunity in your future field may be easier than you think with the help of your school or personal connections!  Let your school counselor know if you are interested and how we can help YOU!
