Job Shadowing
Spring & Summer 2010 on a mutually agreed upon date
At your place of business, where you’ll host local students
The Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce has partnered with Junior Achievement of Southern California to reach out to business leaders interested in improving public education by motivating youth to succeed through job shadowing. For a commitment of just a few hours, you can show students that an education leads to exciting and rewarding careers; recruit future professionals in your industry; showcase your place of work and raise its profile in your community; encourage community involvement and raise morale among your employers.
