Job Shadow is an academically motivating activity designed to give
kids the unique opportunity of an up-close look at the world of work and
provide the answer to the commonly asked question, “Why do I have to
learn this?” The program invites students to see firsthand how the
skills learned in school relate to the workplace.
AT&T, AT&T Pioneers and Junior Achievement are joining together to
bring students to the workplace as part of the new AT&T Aspire
initiative announced in April. Starting in fall 2008, AT&T employees will
provide high school students with the opportunity to experience the
working world firsthand, matching “Connectors” (employee volunteers)
with a :Shadow” (high school students) to showcase the careers and
job skills that are made possible with a successful education.
Pioneers believe that by helping students graduate from high school
and encouraging them to continue their education or start building their
careers, we can help them succeed – not just in school but in life.
This is the largest corporate job-shadowing program ever undertaken
by Junior Achievement and the AT&T Pioneers.
