A program designed to provide interested students with job shadowing opportunities in Central Kentucky business and professional communities. Job shadowing allows students to get a taste of the culture of the workplace and to experience the responsibilities and benefits of a career. Job shadowing can be used as a strategy to help decide students’ academic major and to gain knowledge by observing and understanding skills necessary in a particular career path.
