Welcome to the Career Quest Program
The Career Quest Program is a job shadow initiative designed for all juniors at York High School.
Job Shadowing enables students to get an up close look at what a 'real job' is like and how the skills they learn in school can be put into action.
York High School's Career Quest Program, will consist of two consecutive days, MARCH 11th & 12th, 2008, of school time given entirely to job shadowing at one site.
The Career Quest Program is a requirement for all juniors.
It will be a Pass/Fail grade on your transcript ... transportation is the parents' responsibility!
ANSWERS TO KEY QUESTIONS:
1. Who can I Job Shadow?
Anyone approved by a member of the Career Quest Team and a parent.......you CAN NOT shadow immediate family members!
2. How do I get to my Job Shadow site?
Transportation is the responsibility of the Family.
3. What if I miss the Job Shadow?
If you are sick/miss job shadow... it needs to be made up during vacation time or see Kevin Beatty to discuss alternatives.
4. Important Contract Information:
* IF the contract is not returned with the following signatures: student, site supervisor, parent ...then the student is not allowed to attend the job shadow!!
* If the student shadows without permission... the school will mark them absent and they are no longer covered under school liability.
* The Parent signs the contract AFTER the job site supervisor signs... so parents are aware of any specific requirements (for example... special times to come in, specific
attire).
