As the Groundhog got ready to look for his shadow, Gary Job Corps joined thousands of employers and students throughout the country, along with other Job Corps Centers, who took part in the “National Groundhog Job Shadow Day” during the first week of February.
Since 1999, this initiative to engage students in employment settings has paired student “shadows” with workplace mentors to demonstrate connections between academic and technical skills to careers.
San Marcos Mayor Jane Hughson she said while telling the “shadowing” students the role of the city, “I enjoy sharing with students the activities of the City, by sharing I also learn from the students.”
As the students continued their shadowing, they toured the Hays County Constable’s Office Pct.1, where Chief Varela and Officer Ropollo showed the students the duties and responsibilities of a Constable.
Students from the Job Corps Center shadowed many businesses, including Comal County Justice of the Peace Pct.1, the San Marcos Chamber of Commerce, and the Hays County Commissioner’s Court.
Hays County Judge Becerra enlightened the students on the duties of the County Government after hearing the National Job Corps Job Shadow Proclamation at a Hays County Commissioners Court session.
Thanks to all the employers that supported the Job Shadowing activities. For further information call 800-733JOBS(5627) or visit gary.jobcorps.gov
