Support JA - JA Job Shadow Partner

JA Job Shadow Day

A company can make a huge impact on our community’s young people by providing them with a close-up look at what a real job is like. By sponsoring a classroom’s participation in Job Shadow Day, the company makes it possible for students to see how the skills they learn in school are applied in the workplace.
