ARLINGTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS JOB SHADOW DAY RECAP
On November 7, students from Arlington Public Schools and The Sycamore School visited local business sites through the Arlington Chamber of Commerce's Job Shadow Day.
Job Shadow Day provides an opportunity for students to experience real-world work environments that can inform their career aspirations and their own personal growth. By witnessing professionals in action and understanding the day-to-day operations of different industries, students can make informed decisions about their future career paths.
Job Shadow Day was organized by the Arlington Chamber of Commerce’s Education and Workforce Development Committee, in partnership with Arlington Public Schools' Career Center and The Sycamore School. The Education and Workforce Development Committee, chaired by Dr. Liza Durant of George Mason University, fosters relationships between education and business to enhance Arlington’s ability to keep and attract talent, and develop our local workforce.
Following a kick-off event at George Mason University's Mason Square, students visited one of 18 job sites all across Arlington. Over a half day, they received an overview of the company, met staff members, and learned about career opportunities in that job sector.
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all of our Chamber members who hosted students during Job Shadow Day. Your support in helping the next generation of professionals is truly appreciated!
