    Job Shadow

    • The Job Shadowing Experience is the major component to be included in the Career Portfolio for the 11th grade year. This is an excellent opportunity for the students to get first-hand day-in-the-life experience in a career that interests them. Students will be required to independently plan, schedule, participate in, and reflect on their personal "day on the job." The Job Shadow may be completed over the summer, during the school year, or in conjunction with a class or club experience. This activity will provide students with an up-close look at what a "real job" is like and what education, skill, and experiences would be necessary to enter that field after graduation from Boyertown. If the Job Shadow experience is during a school day, students must complete an Educational Trip Form obtained in the Attendance Office prior to attending their Job Shadow. Failure to complete this form may result in the student receiving an Unlawful Absence mark in their attendance record. Students may complete their job shadow at thier parent/guardian's work, however the parent/guardian cannot be sponsor signature. The Job Shadow Host Evaluation as well as the Job Shadow Student Reflection Sheet must BOTH be uploaded to the student's Smart Futures Account (see upload path below).
    • The Job Shadow is NOT required for BCTC students. 

    Job Shadow Host Evaluation & Student Reflection Sheet -> My Portfolio -> Career Pathway Experiences -> "Job Shadow" [make sure the link is "viewable by all" when using a G-link]
