Job For A Day
The LCPS Job for a Day (JFD) program is a career exploration activity providing an opportunity for 11th-12th grade students to shadow in-person an individual(s) or business/organization. The experience allows the student to learn/observe the tasks and responsibilities necessary in a particular career cluster, field or specific job. Hosts exhibit how the characteristics of the LCPS Profile of a Graduate are demonstrated in a workplace of a student's choice: Contributing, Collaborating, Communicating, Critical Thinking, and Creating!
