Job Shadows Give Teens Incentive to Graduate
United States
Economic Development
Job shadows give young people a chance to experience and relate to the world of work, get excited about a career field so they want to succeed in school, and develop connections for future internships and employment. Youth need positive career experiences because "nationally, 88% of high school students who drop out have passing grades but are bored with school, see no reason to get a diploma, and need money". (Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation report 2006).
