The Job Shadow Club is an initiative designed to help students and job seekers explore various career paths through real-world experiences. By joining, members can visit employers, learn valuable employability skills, network with professionals, and gain crucial pre-internship experience.
The JSC is open to middle school, high school, and college students who are eager to learn more about potential careers, especially in the STEM, Medicine, or Business fields. Those interested in internships and wanting to connect with more professionals will find it particularly beneficial.
Members benefit from hands-on learning experiences, 1-on-1 mentorship, opportunities to network with industry professionals, and gaining a clearer understanding of their future career paths. They also get access to resources for scholarships and education-related information.
Simply provide your name and email on the sign-up form above. You’ll be among the first to know about the launch and other important updates, including new employer partnerships, scholarship opportunities, and more.
We have a wide range of career exploration opportunities, particularly in high-demand sectors such as STEM fields, healthcare, and business. As the JSC grows, so does our list of job shadowing opportunities.
The JSC offers a structured pathway to gain insight into various professions directly from the workplace. We offer a blend of education and real-world exposure, guided by mentors who are professionals in their fields.

We offer flexible pricing options and the ability to tailor job shadowing and career exploration opportunities to the number of students and the school’s needs. Administrators are encouraged to contact us directly to discuss these customizable plans.
All of our services are low cost because we believe that financial constraints should not be a barrier to career exploration. That’s why we offer scholarships to cover the subscription fee for high school students who need financial assistance.
Scholarships are awarded based on demonstrated family need. An application will be available when the JSC is launched!
