Harrison High School senior DareRick Hrnjak is preparing for his future, job shadowing today at Sullivan Pharmacy.
Job shadowing is a vital component of career readiness, providing high school students with an essential, structured exposure to the professional world. The key benefits of these opportunities are numerous:
Informed Career Decisions: Students gain a direct, firsthand view of daily professional life, which is invaluable in helping them confirm or refine their career interests before selecting a post-secondary major or field of study.
Practical Skill Development: Observing professionals in their roles allows students to identify the critical skills and competencies necessary for success, providing context and motivation for their academic pursuits.
Professional Networking: These experiences facilitate connections with working professionals, establishing an early foundation for future mentorship and networking opportunities.
DareRick's proactive pursuit of this practical learning experience demonstrates his commitment to thoughtful career exploration.
We extend our sincere appreciation to the entire team at Sullivan Pharmacy for their commitment to education and for dedicating their time to mentor our student.
DareRick's job shadowing experience was coordinated by our Harrison High School College and Career Readiness Coaches, who work to connect our students with real-world learning opportunities.
