Job Shadow is an academically motivating activity designed to give students the
unique opportunity of an up-close look at the world of work. 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 have joined together to bring
students to the workplace as part of the AT&T Aspire initiative. AT&T
employees provide high school students with the opportunity to experience
the world of work firsthand. “Connectors” (employee volunteers) 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 initiative is the
largest corporate job-shadowing program ever undertaken by Junior
Achievement and AT&T, and the AT&T Pioneers are proud of our participation.
- Through the job shadow initiative, we will reach 100,000 students across
the United States. This is an investment of approximately 400,000 at-
work volunteer hours.
- AT&T and the AT&T Pioneers are strongly positioned to inspire tomorrow’
s workforce through job shadow. The AT&T workforce includes some of
the best and brightest in their fields across a diverse set of career
categories.
