Job Shadowing and Job Twinning (OS 8.3)
Job shadowing and job twinning may be offered to students
from Grade 7 to Grade 12 as part of curriculum delivery
and as part of the career development program. Job
shadowing allows a student to spend one half to one day
(or in some cases up to three days) observing a worker in a
specific occupation. Job twinning provides the opportunity
for the student to observe a cooperative education student
at her placement for one half to one day.
The preparation of students for job shadowing and job
twinning should include instruction related to workplace
expectations and health and safety expectations.
Students should be given the opportunity to reflect on
their experience and the learning that has occurred.
Schools are responsible for ensuring the selection of
appropriate placements in safe work environments. A
Work Education Agreement form must be completed for
a job shadowing or job twinning experience that last for
more than one day if the student is 14 years of age or
older. If the student is under 14 years of age or if the job
shadowing or job twinning experience lasts one day or
less, these xperiences should be treated as field trips.
