Job shadow opportunities are available for high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors through Kirkwood Community College’s Workplace Learning Connection! Both in-person and virtual opportunities are available, and participation is free!
Shadows are typically 2-4 hours in length, are considered an excused absence, and students get the opportunity to explore a career field and connect classroom learning to real-world work. The Aug/Sept job shadow application portal will be open through Sept. 17, 2025 at 3pm. There are over 100 career exploration days and 97 specific careers to choose from.
Encourage the students in your life to apply today and explore their future career!
