Job shadowing is an academically motivating activity designed to give students an up-close look at the world of work and to answer the question, "Why do I have to learn this?" Students "shadow" workplace mentors as they go through a normal day on the job. The students get to see firsthand how the skills learned in school relate to the workplace.

			Ground Hog Shadowing Day

This national event occurs each year in February and is an official "kick-off" for the job shadowing year.  KEC Career and Technical students can take advantage of Job Shadowing opportunities at various times throughout the year.  If you do not attend a KEC class be sure to ask your teacher or counselor by mid-January if Job Shadowing opportunities are available at your school.
