All students in eighth grade Home and Career Skills classes are eligible to participate in our job shadow program. The Home and Careers Department and the Oneida Shores Rotary Club work together to set up job shadows with area businesses. The Rotary Club also supports this activity financially by providing the funds for bussing our students to the job sites. Students in the job shadow program go to a local business and shadow a worker who is performing his or her normal duties on the job. Many students also have a chance to help with some of the work while they see the way familiar businesses look from the other side of the counter.
Students often discover new things about themselves during the job shadow experience.
This successful program is enjoyable for the students and their hosts alike. This page maintained by Jill D. Walch.
