Job Shadow Day is a nationwide initiative designed to give students an opportunity to “shadow” workplace mentors or their parents during their daily work activities. This program actually continues throughout the school year with Groundhog Day as the traditional kick-off event.

In 2004, more than one million students and 100,000 businesses participated in the United States.
