So, what do you want to do when you grow up?
Part of Lesson Plan: Job Shadow
Activity Overview / Details
Discuss with the students their occupational goals, how will they achieve those goals and exactly what type of education needed for the specific occupation.
Students will explore various career areas that interest them, make contact with local people currently employed in that industry, arrange for a time and location for the student to "shadow" the person. The students will utilize the Job Shadow packet for instructions on how to carry out the shadow. Questions for the students to ask are included in the packet. The students are required to ask five additional questions, compose a final write up and write a thank you note, stamped, addressed envelope included.
