Job Shadow Day.
On February 2, working professionals across the country will
kick-off Job Shadow Day, part of a national, year-long effort to enrich
the lives of students by acquainting them with the world of work through
on-the-job experiences and a school curriculum that ties academics to
the workplace. Coordinated by America's Promise-the Alliance for
Youth, Junior Achievement, and the Departments of Education and Labor,
over one million students and 100,000 business are expected to
participate. Past work place mentors include former President George
Bush, Secretary of State Colin Powell, and Today show anchors Katie
Couric, Matt Laurer, Al Roker, and Ann Curry. FOR MORE INFORMATION,
