Would you rather tell students about the workplace or show them? We introduce students to careers through one-day, on-site orientations or through more extensive internships. Either way, it’s an authentic work-world experience for the students … enhanced with classroom preparatory and follow-up activities.

JA Job Shadow takes students into the workplace to learn about careers.

See the Scope and Sequence for a complete listing of program concepts and skills.
