Job Shadow Day allows students, aged 16 and over, to accompany a company manager (or department head) or his/her representative during a working day.

The experience differs from a simple company visit, as the students can observe a manager performing the daily tasks of his/her job for a whole day. In this way, students get an idea of the responsibilities of a company manager and gain important impressions of working life.

Job Shadow Day aims to transmit to the students:

• the relevance of a good school education: students realise how their school knowledge and skills help them in working life;
• the requirements of the labour market (profiles and skills needed)
  an overview of the responsibilities of a business leader;
• the meaning and importance of teamwork
• an overview of the different career paths;
• the desire to be an entrepreneur
