Youth Business and Industry Job Shadow Day 2015!

ihs studentsThe Inglewood Airport Area Chamber of Commerce’s Education Committee is once again gearing up for Youth Business and Industry Job Shadow Day. Our event will take place on Thursday, February 26, 2015.

Youth Business and Industry Job Shadow Day is a program that attempts to match Inglewood students with a business of their choice for a day in order to give the student a chance to experience first hand how that business actually operates. It is the hope of the Education Committee that this will assist students in making solid career choices, and open up new areas for students who might be undecided in future career choices.

During the past thirty three years, this event has been very successful and we hope to make an even bigger difference in the lives of our Students. Our businesses have been able to place over 400 students for the day! Participating businesses host these career minded students as they observe workers in action and learn about the skills needed to be productive in the world of work.

Every student needs to create goals for their adult life and then create a plan to reach those goals. Understanding youth and their learning is an important first step in creating an environment that supports the education of young people.
