Age range:
as of 16 yearsThe Job Shadow Day allows students to get a glimpse of the world of work. The “Job Shadow Day” project aims to enable students to actively participate in an ordinary day at a company and thus receive important impressions of professional life. The experiences collected by the students are fundamentally different from a company visit, since during the “Job Shadow Day” the students accompany the head of a company or his/her representative throughout a normal working day.
Job Shadow Day aims to transmit to the students:
- the relevance of good school education: students are aware of how their academic knowledge and skills help them in their professional lives;
- the requirements necessary to achieve objectives and success in professional life: students see which skills are needed in various professional situations;
- the meaning of teamwork: students discover how a team works in a professional context;
- important information on different career opportunities: students receive valuable help in choosing their professional career;
- inspiration for entrepreneurship
The Job Shadow Day gives the company the opportunity to:
- conquer new staff resources: meet your future apprentice or potential collaborator;
- position your company as an attractive employer;
- present your company to the outside world and promote a positive image;
- to engage in the field of “Corporate Social Responsibility”;
- pass on your professional experiences to the young entrepreneurs of tomorrow.
