Today people in the U.S. and Canada often hear people talking about seeing—or not seeing—shadows, because it is Groundhog Day. But we can talk about another kind of shadow as well. When a student job shadows, that student spends time with a worker on a job that the student finds interesting. During this time, the student can observe actual work tasks and learn more about that occupation—the goal being that the student can decide whether or not to further pursue that career path.
It's
rather like “Take Your Daughter/Son to Work Day,” but rather than
going to work with parents, students can go to work with any
relative, friend, or even stranger who does the particular job that
student is interested in.

shadows...
What
does shadow
mean?

about job shadowing to find out more about an interesting
occupation...but what does the word shadow
