Job Shadow What students say about Job Shadows "My job shadow meant that I was responsible, that I got to learn about a job, and that people really care about giving you a chance to learn about what they do and about the future." "I enjoyed almost everything about my job shadow. It wasn't boring like I thought it was going to be. I was always listening and trying to remember all the information my host and the other employees were giving me." "It was great being able to talk to so many people and ask them about their jobs. They even gave advice about what I should do if I ever wanted to do their jobs." "Job shadows help you see what you need to know to do different jobs. If you go on a job shadow and you don't like it, then you start to realize that maybe you aren't the type of person for the job. This way you get to see what it's really like before you make up your mind about what you want to do." "After my job shadow I have a lot of respect for what it takes to run a business." nwrel CONNECTIONS: Linking Work and Learning JFF What is a job shadow?
