Job Shadowing 2013



Every year, Mrs. Collins has a Bible class called “C3.” C3 stands for “Colleges, Careers, and Choices.” It is a special class designed for students to start thinking about where they want to go to college, what types of jobs they are good at, and what careers they may want to go into after graduating. One way she helps her students find this is by having them go on a job shadow for potential career options.

Mrs. Collins hand-picks where each student will go for their job shadow. First, the kids take an online survey to find their interests and abilities. The students then must fill out a sheet of their first, second, and third options for the job shadow. Mrs. Collins then decides where to send them based on what was filled out. She is not always able to find the students’ top choice, but she does her best to find something enjoyable and educational for each student.

Mrs. Collins was very pleased with the wide variety of occupations her C3 class had chosen. The kids picked anything from teachers to police officers to news reporters. Mrs. Collins did a great job of getting the kids great opportunities to shadow all sorts of jobs so they can see if the job they picked is really the one they want to go through with.

Nearing the end of the quarter, C3 has really been a unique experience for the sophomore class, along with a few others. Job shadowing was really a blast, and will be a lot of fun to share each others experiences with one another.
