In preparation for the 2015 Job Shadow Day, juniors at KCHS spent several months researching careers and preparing business portfolios, including job applications, r\u00e9sum\u00e9s, and cover letters. The unit culminates with individualized, first-hand workplace experiences with local business hosts across the Central Peninsula.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1918\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1918\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/communications.blogs.kpbsd.k12.ak.us\/wpmu\/files\/2015\/08\/Joseph-Gabriel_David-Beck_-Mikaela-Salzetti_-and-HEAs-Jim-Cross.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1918 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/communications.blogs.kpbsd.k12.ak.us\/wpmu\/files\/2015\/08\/Joseph-Gabriel_David-Beck_-Mikaela-Salzetti_-and-HEAs-Jim-Cross-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Joseph Gabriel, David Beck, Mikaela Salzetti, and Homer Electric Association (HEA) Jim Cross\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1918\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Joseph Gabriel, David Beck, Mikaela Salzetti, and Homer Electric Association (HEA) Jim Cross<\/figcaption><\/figure><br \/>\nThe Chamber of Commerce and its members have made arrangements to place 110 students into a \u201cjob placement\u201d that matches a career interest they have selected. This pairing assists students in making decisions regarding career field, education or training required, as well as leading to possible intern or employment connections.<br \/>\nKCHS Principal Alan Fields points out, \u201cThe Job Shadow program is an opportunity the KCHS students get that is not available anywhere else in the state. This program demonstrates how much the community cares about our students. It takes a tremendous amount of work from all of the entities involved.\u201d<br \/>\nKCHS students and staff extends sincere appreciation to all of the individuals, agencies, and businesses that helped to support this program and to make this such a positive experience for students.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1919\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1919\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/communications.blogs.kpbsd.k12.ak.us\/wpmu\/files\/2015\/08\/IMG_0653.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1919 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/communications.blogs.kpbsd.k12.ak.us\/wpmu\/files\/2015\/08\/IMG_0653-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0653\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1919\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Concluding lunch with business partners, student participants, and keynote speakers<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kenai Central High School (KCHS) Job Shadow Day:\u00a0helping students plan for the future Nearly twenty years ago the KCHS Job Shadow program had its beginnings as a partnership between Kenai &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/2015\/02\/28\/twenty-year-partnership-prepares-students-for-their-future\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Twenty year partnership prepares students for their future&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":126,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[426,542,581,582,771,1115,1116],"class_list":["post-1916","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-community-partners","tag-future","tag-job-shadow","tag-kenai-central-high-school","tag-kenai-chamber-of-commerce","tag-peninsula-job-center","tag-work","tag-workforce"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1916","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/126"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1916"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1916\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1916"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1916"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kpbsd.org\/schools\/comm-test\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
