| Synopsis: |
The team pursued the idea of creating a directory of business professionals in Hendricks County who would be willing to have high school (or middle school) students shadow them in the workplace. Through a poll of middle school and high school administrators and teachers, it was confirmed that no such resource exists and would be helpful. Through research, networking and discussions, the 2015 Capstone Team decided to develop the project plan for this project, which includes information about: the benefits of job shadowing for businesses and students, program goals and objectives, program tools and resources, marketing and communications ideas, implementation considerations, rewards and acknowledgements. This plan could be adopted by a future Capstone Team, or even adopted by a Hendricks County business or school for implementation. |
