Job Shadowing

Job shadowing gives the FVCC student an opportunity to observe a business and receive information about that business from the employer. This opportunity will usually take place during the time the student would normally be attending the Fox Valley Career Center. This experience will help the student make educated decisions about career choices as well as about schools they would like to attend for further education after high school.

Students will be contacted by the career placement counselor about "shadowing" opportunities. If a student is interested in the opportunity, he or she will then complete the "shadowing" form and return the completed form at least three days before the scheduled experience. Once a student has completed the "shadowing" experience, he or she should turn in a report on what they observed during the experience to their instructor. Some instructors may ask the student to share his or her experience with other members of the class.
