What is a Job Shadow?
Job Shadows are short-term placements, usually one day or less, where a student observes an individual while at work, and learns about specific duties connected with that person's job. As part of this experience, youth should also be given general understanding of the entire business or organization and how the job they are observing , fits within that business. Job shadows are usually scheduled during the school year.
What is Work Experience?
Work Experience placements are long term, paid placements that may last anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months. Youth are placed at the employer's work site. The purpose of the work experience is to give a youth exposure to employment and work experience in a trade or career. It is the expectation that upon successful completion, the youth will transition to the employer's payroll and continue employment.
