Job Shadow Program
The Job Shadow experience is part of the required Senior Seminar course taken during the senior year. Students are required to research a vocational interest, locate professionals who are working in the area of interest, make the contacts, and ultimately job shadow an individual(s) in the field.
This experience is then documented in the required research paper that is written in the course. In the past, KCS students have had experiences out of state, in NYC, Albany, and at local agencies and area schools. The Job Shadow permission form can be picked up in the Counseling office.
