We’re always on the look out for great tools and resources for students. We found one such tool that is particularly exciting because it allows students to explore the career possibilities available to them. In a nutshell, they can get a glimpse into their future!

This wonderful tool is the Virtual Job Shadow. In creating the EPP student development program, career exploration is a major component of our approach. Academics are important, but in the absence of an understanding of how knowledge learned in the classroom translates to actual career opportunities, students may miss out on an important element of meaning in their studies. With the virtual job shadow resource, students can explore career options in a highly interactive way.

Our partners at Virtual Job Shadow are really in touch with our students’ needs. “Our long held belief is that students will stay in school longer and become more engaged in learning if they can better connect academics to real world applications. Living in a digital age makes it possible to bring the real world to the student! This is what VirtualJobShadow.com is all about- providing a window directly into the workplace, empowering students to make informed decisions about their future. Careers by choice, not by chance!”

At EPP we will continue to research information and tools on behalf of our students and parents. We will work to provide you access when you need it and guide you through the process of exploration, decision-making, and celebrate with you when you achieve all we know you can!
