Length of time commitment:

Job shadowing is a one day opportunity for the Career-Tech Student.

The purpose of the job shadowing program is to provide the opportunity for students in various fields of study to observe

and experience, on a first-hand basis, the nature of the occupation for which they are training. This unpaid job shadowing

program will provide occupational benefits for both the employer and the student. A report form will be completed by the

student and returned to the Career-Tech Instructor once the job shadowing is completed.
