2017 Job Shadow Program

Job Shadow 4December 1, 2016

Dear Prep Community,

Our goal at St. Augustine Prep is to provide a rich and comprehensive educational experience not only in the classroom but within the community. It is with great enthusiasm that we invite you to participate in the St. Augustine Preparatory School Annual Job Shadow Program. The established shadow dates for 2017 are Monday, February 20th; Tuesday, February 21st; Wednesday, February 22nd.

If you have the capability and interest in hosting a junior student(s) for one of the three days to allow him to explore and gain information about your profession, we would love to hear from you. Please click here to complete a Saint Augustine Prep Job Shadow Questionnaire by January 4th. An index of participating businesses/individuals will be provided to our junior students on January 17th.

The momentum of this program continues to increase, and the wealth of knowledge this exercise offers our junior students is immeasurable. In the past, our students have been fortunate to select from a multitude of business categories and shadow with many industry-leading businesses, government agencies, educational institutions, healthcare providers and legal practices. For many students deciding on a college or an area of study can be an overwhelming task. Our shadowing program provides students with concrete insight and real world professional experience which aids them in making a more informed college decision.

We are grateful to those who have participated in the past and welcome new participants. We know with the continued support of the Prep community this program will continue to flourish as it is an important opportunity for our students as they move toward making important decisions for their future. Please feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions at mrs.castelli@hermits.com.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Carol Castelli
Director of College Guidance
