| JOB SHADOWING | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Do you remember the first time an adult opened your eyes to a career that made you think, "That's what I want to do!"? On April 15, 2003 approximately 1/2 of the Class of 2005 loaded onto 4 school busses and headed out into Morris, Warren and Bergan Counties to "Shadow" individuals at their work sites. This activity served many purposes. -It helped to demonstrate to the students the connection between academics and careers, making classwork more relevant. - Students were exposed to the types of skills and activities required in different types of work. The process of building the program -The process of developing the program strengthened community partnerships between schools and businesses to enhance the educaitonal experperiences of all students -Exposed students to their caring community, encouraging ongoing relationships between young people and caring adults Overall this was an incredibly positive experience for all involved. |
