- Job Readiness Workshops in Junior and Senior year will be held to prepare students for potential future job shadow/internship opportunities ( social media awareness, how to prepare for the first day of work, how to write a resume and thank you letter.)
Job Shadow Day
Students explore their chosen field by spending a day visiting a company and shadowing professionals in their field of interest. Companies can have one student shadow an employee for a few hours in the morning, or bring in a group of students for an orientation and then assign them to different departments. The experiences are shaped by what is best for each company and student.
