<br>
<br>
Are you interested in a job shadow opportunity? We will be offering this opportunity to 30 students each fall and spring. Through a job shadowing program, you can spend a day on the job with an expert. As an observer, you can see how the professional goes about
his or her daily tasks to determine if the job is something that interests you. Job shadowing gives you the opportunity to meet professionals who do what you hope to. Applications will be available prior to each semester and assignments will be given to the
first 30 students who complete the application process. Students are placed based on their desired field of study and available employers in that field. Questions about this event? Please contact Bethany Ferrall, 903.468.3212.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
