Our third-year students in Individual Study have been busy this quarter participating in job shadows and class job site tours/guest speakers.
Job shadowing helps students gain knowledge of an occupation through observation. OLS students were able to follow and observe a trained and experienced employee in one or more of their career pathways. Being part of the physical work environments helps our students experience the realness of a work environment on a daily basis.
A few examples of this quarters job shadows included:
- Simpson Elementary School (Para-Educator)
- Closer Pros (Data Entry)
- GrayPants (Assembly)
- Microsoft Azure (Software Engineer)
- New Horizons (Pre-school Teacher)
- WA State Patrol (Highway Trooper)
- Manifesgo (Video Editing/Production
- Bishop’s Barber Shops (Franchisee Ownership)
- and many more!
We are thankful to all the business who took time out of their day to assist our students in exploring their career pathways.
