nTodaynpeople in the U.S. and Canada often hear people talking aboutnseeing—or not seeing—shadows, because it is Groundhog Day. Butnwe can talk about another kind of shadow as well. When a student jobnshadows,nthat student spends time with a worker on a job that the studentnfinds interesting. During this time, the student can observe actualnwork tasks and learn more about that occupation—the goal being thatnthe student can decide whether or not to further pursue that careernpath.
