What is Job Shadowing? Job Shadowing is easy and fun. Job Shadowing engages each student in the world of work, where they may get first-hand information about job skills and careers. Job Shadowing is designed so students may play an active role in learning. Job Shadowing involves student visits to a variety of work places during which time students observe and ask questions to individual workers. Copyright © Texas Education Agency, All rights reserved.

What is mentoring? Mentoring is typically defined as a “sustained relationship between a young person and an adult in which the adult provides the young person which support, guidance, and assistance. Mentoring may assume many forms and fulfill a variety of objectives.

What is Apprenticeship training?
Apprenticeship is a combination of on-the-job training (OJT) and related classroom instruction under the supervision of a journey-level craft person or trade professional in which workers learn the practical and theoretical aspects of a highly skilled occupation. After completing an apprenticeship program, the worker's journey-level status provides an additional benefit of nationwide mobility at journey level scale.
