Job Shadowing
Modesto City Schools has partnered with various local businesses to offer job shadowing opportunities. Job Shadowing is a type of on-the-job training that allows an interested student to follow and closely observe an employee at a particular business to see if it’s a career path the student may be interested in pursuing.
If you are interested in this opportunity, please reach out to your Career Navigator.
