When a student is making a transition from school to work, job shadowing is most useful for:
  1. Providing the student with information about the qualifications needed to apply for a particular job.
  2. Helping the student decide if he or she is interested in pursuing a particular job.
  3. Teaching the student how to communicate with other workers and managers on the job.
  4. Giving the student hands-on experience in performing a particular job.
Explanation
Correct Response: B. Job shadowing involves following and observing an individual in a company perform their work duties during the course of a routine day. The goal is to introduce students to the nature of the work so a student can determine if he or she is interested in that type of job. The primary goal of job shadowing is not to provide the student with a description of the qualifications needed (A). Job shadowing may demonstrate the importance of communication for the job, but it is not intended to teach the student any job-related communication skills (C), nor is it intended to provide hands-on, job- related experience (D).
