Students will complete an interest form and then actively interact with the Work-Based Learning coordinator assigned to our class.   Professionalism is VITAL to the success of this experience in both conduct and attire.  Students are encouraged to review the recommendations in Job Shadow Observation Dress Requirements and utilize provided class uniform garments (Match your choice of polo, ¼ zip or t-shirt with the work environment of the observation) as well as the required navy pants outlined in the WTC Welcome Letter.

 A student’s failure to conduct themselves to the standards of the WTC Handbook and classroom expectations will result in Restorative Practices or disciplinary actions (including revocation of job shadow privileges) if the student is unable to learn and grow from the experience.

Student Leadership and Career & Technical Student Organizations (CTSO)

Students will be offered many experiences to promote understanding of and application of leadership abilities, promotion of self-assured and confident individuals and future healthcare professionals and development of hands-on skills and experience in a field that interests them both personally and professionally.  Opportunities will be embedded within class activities for students to learn and enhance personal development skills, grow their leadership capabilities and prepare for success in the workforce.
