You can help mold a young person’s career choice! Job Shadowing is an educational activity focused on providing an up-close look at the world of business. It gives students across America the opportunity to "shadow" a workplace mentor through a normal day on the job, letting them see how the skills learned in school relate to the workplace.

For students, Job Shadowing can become the link between academics and careers. For employers, it offers both an introduction to the employees of tomorrow and the opportunity to help students explore career options – and to share what it will take to achieve their goals.

Members in industry are especially encouraged to participate, not only to benefit their employers, but also to expose students to the wide variety of job responsibilities available to them as CPAs in the world of business.

All it takes is a willingness to arrange for a few students to visit your work site so they can see how the "real world" works. Get all the info you need, and find out how to sign up, from www.jobshadow.org.
