This year’s Job Shadow Day was an
amazing opportunity for students in the sophomore class to explore careers and
make professional connections.
Students look forward Job Shadow Day,
an opportunity to travel to a job placement site and swap their school uniform
for business attire. But the hosts, many of whom are experts in their line of
work, are just as eager to mentor students and introduce them to typical work
day activities. Job Shadow Day gives hosts a chance to experience, first-hand,
the drive and hunger that TMA students continue to put forth in an effort to learn
more about their future crafts.
Below are testimonials from this
year’s hosts:
“The company loved having
DeAndre around. He got to meet with folks in several departments, do an energy
efficiency walk-through of a commercial building, and visit the Earth
Conservation Corps’ historic pump house on the Anacostia to learn about their
programs.” Cory, DC
Sustainable Energy Utility
“The students are very
outgoing and friendly. One of them, who expressed interest in being a lawyer,
asked great questions after reading some case-related materials. Overall, they
led educated discussions and are great students who are very intelligent and
were very helpful.” Inez, Williams & Connolly, LLP
“Christina was a pleasure to
have at the office. She spent the day with FHH attorneys, watching us work,
asking questions, and sharing her interest in going to law school one day. We
even had a chance to treat her to a viewing spot on the rooftop patio, where we
saw the Arsenal of Democracy Flyover in honor of the 70th
anniversary of the V-E Day. It was definitely a perfect time for her to visit.”
Jonathan, Fletcher Heald & Hildreth
“Tayanna and Tiffany are a
bit worn out, but we had fun! We walked the campus quite a bit and saw key
areas of the schools. I was sure to take them on a tour of the engineering
school and the medical school. Before they left, we presented them with
emergency kits that will keep them informed about occupational health. I
think they've learned a lot about how we keep students, staff, and faculty of
the university safe.” Naomi, George Washington University
TMA partners with a number of career
professionals throughout the DC Metro area who host students at their
respective place of work and offer advice on professionalism, new careers, and
the necessary academic steps and skills required to become leaders in their
field of choice.
