[Counselors] FW: FW: Question for Counselors RE: Job Shadowing

[Nelson, Lisa]

Amber, Job shadowing has a wonderful web-site that I used at the Jr. Hi when I was there. Ground Hog Day is always National Job Shadowing Day. They have awesome forms , ideas, etc. I made my students do all the work. It was for a grade in an Honors class I taught. They had to contact the person they wanted to shadow--it was more important if they made the contact. A lot of kids will just chose to shadow a parent, which is fine if they can prove to you they are really interested in that career/job. They have to work the same hours the person works. These are things I learned from experience. Some just go and play videos. They have to have the person sign a form saying they understand what the student is expected to do. It takes a lot of work, but the kids gain so much from it. Good Luck!!

I use the form in the College and Career planner to start the process. The student fills it out to let me know they are interested in shadowing. Then I use forms provided by my technology center (a job shadowing book) for permission slips and job site evaluation and so forth.


we currently use the activity as part of a Career Exploration course that I teach to seniors. It is an elective course and about half of the class takes it.  The shadowing  is the final activity of the course.  I hope to expand the shadowing opportunity to all seniors on Ground Hog Day.  It would be nice to have other classes involved, but because we have to go out of town, the logistics makes it impossible at this time.

Hello! I am hoping to help implement a Job Shadowing program at our school. Do any of you have a program currently in place? If so, would you be willing to share information about it and documents used (i.e. permission forms, etc.). I don't want to "reinvent the wheel" if someone has a good program in place :)

Thanks so much!
