In late October, students from Classical Academy High School had the unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience through job shadowing, thanks to a collaboration with Escondido Education COMPACT. As part of this immersive experience, students engaged in a comprehensive job preparation workshop, covering essential aspects such as professional etiquette, appropriate attire, and workplace expectations.

The culmination of this workshop was an exciting day in the field, where students shadowed professionals in their chosen career paths. This invaluable experience allowed students to explore the educational and training prerequisites associated with their desired careers. It also allowed them to assess their compatibility with their chosen fields and develop a more realistic understanding of the specific workplace requirements and dynamics.Education COMPACT has provided innovative youth development and workforce development programs since 1989.
