JA Job Shadow 2024-25

Love Your Job? Share it with a Young Person!

JA Job Shadow Host Sites Needed - Greater Philadelphia Region! Join JA of Southeastern PA this school year as we partner with Mastery Charter School Network and the School District of Philadelphia's CTE program to bring career exposure experiences to their young people. Reach out to Laura Yohe to learn more about this opportunity, laura.yohe@ja.org.

JA Job Shadow prepares high school students to be entrepreneurial thinkers in their approach to work. Young people will acquire and apply the skills needed in demanding and ever-changing workplaces. JA Job Shadow:

• Helps prepare our future workforce
• Showcases your place of work
• Enables your employees to easily participate in a community activity
• It's turnkey; JA provides the materials and training and will help arrange all JA Job Shadow days in advance

Your Place of Business Would:

• Host a class of (20-40) high school students from 9am-1pm, including lunch
• Provide a tour of your company
• Enable students to visit and observe professional work conduct, learn what skills and education they need to earn jobs
• Help students participate in a series of host-led challenges that bring home lessons from the "real world" of work.

Program Basics

• Includes three sessions plus a Job Shadow site visit 
• Average time for each session is 45 minutes and includes a site visit experience of at least three hours
• Materials are downloadable and include detailed session plans for the site-coordinator, students, and teacher

Following participation in the program, students will be able to: 

• Recognize career clusters and potential job positions and understand the  importance of researching the  requirements needed to earn a position
• Develop job-hunting tools, such as networking, resumes, and interviewing skills
• Identify the next steps needed in their personal career preparation
