Senior Job Shadow - Graduation Requirement
Due: Monday, April 21, 2025
The job shadow is a component of the Career Portfolio, the senior job shadow is a required activity for graduation from Lakeville Area Schools. Students that have completed the Career Investigations class or are a fulltime PSEO student DO NOT need to complete the job shadow or follow-up assignment, as those courses exempt students. STEM Capstone students, need to complete the assignment, but can use their STEM Capstone hours/job shadow.
A job shadow is a structured career activity where a student follows an employee at a company location to learn about a particular occupation or industry. The purpose of job shadowing is to help students explore a range of career options. For this to be a meaningful experience, students should shadow someone in their career path of interest. It should not be parents or someone where students are currently working. Those are opportunities for supplemental exploration.
The employee who is hosting the student is called an adult mentor. The student will experience a one-on-one relationship with an adult mentor, observing activities and gaining valuable information about a possible chosen career. Job shadowing helps students accomplish the following:
- Gain information about possible future career interests
- Observe the daily routine of their adult mentor
- Observe the system of the host company or business
- Gain an insight into the academic, technical, and personal skills required by a particular occupation
- Gain an understanding of the connection between school and work
- Gain information to assist students in goal-setting and educational planning
For completion of their LSHS Career Portfolio, seniors need to prepare by using the Job Shadow Packet to research and reach out for the mentor/location for the opportunity, attend their Job Shadow, then finish with the Senior Job Shadow Follow-Up Assignment and Mock Interview Questionnaire by the noted deadline.
