The Students Are In Business: Job Shadow Week 2021 Begins July 19<\/b><\/p>\n

HERNDON, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nThe established leader in online learning is giving students a new opportunity to look towards the future, as Job Shadow Week 2021<\/a> kicks off on July 19. Presented by Stride, Inc.<\/a> (NYSE: LRN), in collaboration with Tallo<\/a>, Nepris<\/a>, and Gamechangers<\/a>, the free virtual event invites ambitious middle and high school students from across the country to engage with companies and professionals across a diverse array of industries. Students will explore future career options and hear from companies and organizations including Amazon, CVS, and NASA.\n<\/p>\n

\nJob Shadow Week 2021 begins as the future of the nation\u2019s post-pandemic economy is still yet to be determined, as is the impact of a unique school year. According to a recent study<\/a>, 65% of U.S. parents are looking for summer opportunities to help their kids make up for deficits caused by lost classroom time amid the pandemic. And when it comes to exploring career options, 82% of high school students and their families are likely to choose a schooling option with a career learning offering. Events like Job Shadow Week invite students to explore future careers before they\u2019ve even graduated high school.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cMore and more students are graduating high school and even college with little idea what they want to do next. Early career learning opportunities like Job Shadow Week give them a risk-free way to explore their interests and realize where their skills and passions can take them,\u201d said Dr. Shaun McAlmont, President of Career Learning Solutions at Stride. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to bring these experiences to life for students and we\u2019re excited to see the impact they make in the future.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nThe free events will be hosted live through Nepris<\/a>\u2019 interactive online platform, allowing students to gain personal experience in a virtual workplace. Throughout the week, students will learn from professionals in retail, STEM, agriculture, healthcare, and marketing industries. There will also be sessions on practical job-finding skills, such as personal branding and resume-building. Speakers include:\n<\/p>\n
