San Rafael Middle School College and Career Awareness students participated in the statewide job shadow day. To correspond with Groundhog Day, the students had the opportunity to shadow an adult for a day of work.
This day provides the students a chance to discover what it is like to be at work for a day. Some students discovered that the job they shadowed was fun and perhaps it would be a career that would interest them. Other students discovered that the jobs they shadowed were something they would not want to pursue. Overall, the students had good experiences learning about different career choices.
