DEADLINE for Job Shadow Experience

Dear Roane County Employer:
 
Roane State has a special request of you. 
 
We are in the second year of our Middle College experience. This program is giving selected Roane County high schools students the opportunity to take both high school and Roane State classes during their junior and senior years.  At the end of their senior year of high school, the students that successfully complete this program are graduating with both their high school diploma and an associate degree from Roane State. These are some of the brightest and highest driven students in our Roane County school system!
 
These students need your help now.  They are looking to experience the “world of work” as it aligns with the classes and pathways they are currently taking.  They would like to Job Shadow for a day during their upcoming spring break (March 21 – March 24).  What we are asking from you is to offer a day long experience at your company to any of the six students seeking this opportunity. The Job Shadow experience would be just that, an opportunity of placing a student with an employee(s) to find out more about your company, the work that you do and an insight to the professionals that work for you.  They will have the opportunity to seek out and find answers to the various questions they may have about their career paths and your company as a whole. 
 
If your company incorporates any of the areas listed below and you can provide that day experience, please consider signing up for this opportunity
                             *Computer Architecture
                             *Computer Engineering
                             *Computer Science
                             * Mechanical Engineering
                             *Physics
 
Please note that we are not asking for these students to participate in day-to-day tasks but to view what your business does and how it would relate to the field in which they are majoring in.  You have the flexibility to give us your preference of days that you can accommodate them as well as their times. 
 
Please let me know of your Job Shadow opportunities:
