Job shadowing is an opportunity for students to experience a day of work at a job site they select. If a student thinks they would like to do an internship or apprenticeship in high school, this is a good way for them to decide where they want to go.
Students are given the chance to job shadow beginning in the 8th grade. Macon Middle School hosts a "Take Your Child to Work" day in the spring. This is a day when students are excused from school if they return their permission slip ahead of time and and an interview sheet after they shadow.
At Franklin High School, 9th - 12th graders are allowed to shadow once a year. There are two opportunities for them; once in the fall and once in the spring. These opportunities are announced on the Panther Growl approximately one month ahead. Students must then fill out an application to shadow. |
