Job Shadow Day

Cisco Joins National Job Shadow Day Efforts

Job Shadowing is Effective

Job shadowing can be an important first step in pointing students toward IT careers. An event as simple as a guest speaker in your classroom can encourage students to pursue careers in math, science, and technology. Hearing about job requirements from IT professionals helps students relate their classroom experiences to the workplace and start planning their career paths.
