Employers Working Directly With Students As an employer, you can offer students a variety of opportunities to understand the kinds of tasks that today's workforce does every day. Career day activities are designed to help students think about their interest and abilities in relation to potential careers.
Students visit the worksite, talk with employees and observe the workplace activities.
Job shadowing can help students explore a range of career objectives and select a career major for the latter part of high school. Students' workplace activities may include special projects, a sample of tasks from different jobs, or tasks from a single occupation. Students and participating businesses develop written training and evaluation plans to guide instruction, and students receive course credit for both their classroom and work experiences. Credit hours and intensity of placements often vary with the course of study. Youth Apprenticeships may or may not include financial compensation.
