WHAT IS JOB SHADOW?

I have not stopped talking to my parents, teachers, and friends about some of the interesting things I learned from our trip.” Lynbrook Student 2008

Have you ever wanted to see the design show rooms in San Francisco with a top Interior Designer? Would you like to follow in the footsteps of a cutting edge Engineer, or work side by side with a Neo Natal Nurse?

Job Shadow is an academically motivating experience that provides students with a real look at the world of work while answering the all too common question, “Why do I have to learn this?”

On February 2, 2010, Lynbrook students will have the opportunity to shadow workplace mentors through a typical day on the job. Lynbrook Students will find out what it is like to be a doctor, or a judge, or an engineer.

Students who participate in Job Shadow:

• Start to identify career interests
• Observe the daily routine of adults in the work place
• Gain an awareness of the academic, technical, and personal skills required for various jobs
• Make the all important connection between school, work, and achieving goals

Lynbrook students are perfect candidates for Job Shadow!
