The M-DCPS Department of Career & Technical Education and the students and community of the National Academy Foundation (NAF) Career Academy will host National Groundhog Job Shadow Day. The event will take place on February 3, 2015 from 9 am to 1 pm, and will feature various companies throughout the Miami-Dade County.
This event is part of the District’s partnership and involvement in the One Community One Goal Targeted Industry Implementation Plan to encourage business engagement in education and to build students’ career readiness. This will help students enrolled in career-themed academics like engineering, hospitality and tourism, finance, information technology and health sciences prepare for summer internships.
National Groundhog Job Shadow Day supports learning taking place beyond the four walls of a classroom and provides students with the opportunity to see the connection between academics and the demands of the workforce.
