Job shadowing is a work experience option where students learn about a job by walking through the work day as a shadow to a competent worker. The job shadowing work experience is a temporary, unpaid exposure to the workplace in an occupational area of interest to the student. After you have completed your job shadow, write a one to one and a half page reflection paper about your job shadow experience. You must follow the guidelines and submit documents according to the linked document below.
