Inspire a student by providing them the opportunity to see what you do. Understanding, even on a basic level, the workplace environment may spark curiosity that leads to a potential career interest.
Did you know that our county high schools Career Navigators help connect students to career possibilities? The more Career Navigators know, the more students benefit. Hosting Navigators allows them to witness what you do and helps them build their network of knowledge to share with teachers and students.
Work-based learning (WBL) opportunities link classroom learning with real-world experiences. The paid or unpaid work-based learning program shall be designed to teach students the skills necessary for successful employment and to reinforce mastery of both academic and career technical education (CTE) standards.
Job shadowing offers students a more in-depth look at local businesses and industries. These experiences can be an entire day or just a few hours. You can choose to host just one or many students at a time. Job shadowing provides students a unique in-person opportunity to observe day-to-day workplace operations and ask on-the-spot questions.
SPIE’s Educator Internship Program places educators in business/industry to learn up-to-date job competencies through observation. These experiences can be as hands-on or off as allowed by the business, with a goal of providing the educator with a vast amount of information to take back to their classrooms. Educators come with Workman’s Compensation Insurance and SPIE compensates them for their time.
