The Career Shadowing program at Westlake High School is open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors who would like to gain first-hand knowledge of a job or career field. Students get to experience what a typical day is like in their field of interest and learn from real life situations. In-person shadows will take place where permitted by companies and organizations. Virtual shadows will continue to be available as well. Whether in-person or virtual, career shadows can be of great benefit to students as they begin to think about their future prior to entering college or the world of work. Students are permitted to have two excused absences for shadowing each school year.

To initiate a Career Shadowing experience, students should complete the Shadow Application below or pick up an application in the Career Shadowing Office (A120). Please note that parent approval is required to proceed with a shadow experience.
