Groundhog Job Shadow Day At DARCARS Lanham Ford
Co-sponsored by monster.com and News Corporation, Groundhog Shadow Day was created as a way to provide high school students, grades 9-12, with an up-close look at how skills learned in school are put into action in the workplace by allowing students to shadow volunteer adults for a day at their places of business.
That sounded like a good idea to John Randolph, service manager for DARCARS Lanham Ford, who assigned two students from Washingtonês Roosevelt High School to shadow Master Technician Warren Butrim and Juan Ticona, who is one of four WANADA/Ford Apprenticeship Program trainees the dealership employs.
The kick-off day for Groundhog Shadow Day was February 1, but the program will continue throughout the month. For more information or to get involved in the program, log onto www.jobshadow.org, or call (202) 638-7336 or e-mail: msingleton@dcchamber.org.
