Job Shadowing

Job shadowing is a great hands-on way to learn about the day-to-day responsibilities of a career. Students can job shadow once each semester for an excused absence with the proper paperwork submitted. Learn more about what you need to do to set up a day to job shadow in this video.

Virtual Job Shadowing

If you are not able to job shadow on-site, there are great virtual job shadowing opportunities here. Disney World, Google, Amazon, a basketball arena, clinical/non-clinical, an airport, a news station and more!
