Job Shadow Day - Spring 09 //(day or days tbd)//

 * Commit & plan Spring 09 with up to 20 local businesses. Plan draft to Jill/Amanda by 11/30 & update Wiki
 * Students spend a day observing different aspects of business (similar to Take Your Child to Work day) but not just a tour, students need to see as many real activities and interactions as possible.
 * Marketing & promotion needed to get started and leverage for later Internships. Leverage our committee Chamber contact.

//Initial Thoughts:// Start with Job Shadowing Spring 09; 1 or 2 day program; involving 20 local businesses. Have students spend a day observing different aspects of business (similar to Take Your Child to Work day). Huge local marketing/promotion campaign boasting success. Obtain feedback from both students and business to help tailor Internship program, which will be much more hands-on, in either the Summer or Fall. //Next Steps:// Committee members update Wiki with their thoughts/comments by FRI 11/14; Committee Co-chairs summarize/submit plan to Jill/Amanda by 11/30 & update Wiki

I agree with what we have outlined so far - I would like for us to set future goals for the internships and the year. Paula Waggoner

Can we contact the district for guidance on a date and provide a short description and requirements for both students and employers? I would think that it would then be helpful to send the information in invitation form to the chamber and ask them to distribute to members. We could also send a media release to the View as an announcement and invitation for participation. I will be happy to draft description, get committee contributions and submit for approval. Lisa Richardson
