Job Shadowing Opportunity for DGS' Students

We are seeking your support in offering a three-day job shadowing experience to the Secondary Year 5 students of Diocesan Girls' School in your organisation. If you could, this would be a fantastic opportunity for you to help our students get ahead in the real world!!

To expand the skills and knowledge of our students, DGS has introduced a job shadowing programmeto our S5 students since July 2014. Through this programme, our school hopes that each student will obtain valuable working knowledge and experience the corporate culture in the real world before they begin their final year of studies and start applying to universities. We sincerely hope that this experience is mutually beneficial and we know it will be invaluable to the student's development.

All girls will participate in this programme as part of a school activity. As the provider of the job-shadowing experience, you would be volunteering in the role of a mentor. You are not expected to pay the student(s) or the school. Some suggested activities for the student(s) include observing meetings, reading documents, attending seminars, gathering research, entering data, etc. However, you will have the full discretion to design the tasks and experience for the student(s).

Details of the programme are as follows:

Dates: 2-4 July 2019 for three consecutive days**

Hours: Three full working days

Attire: Our school will advise all students to dress formally, unless you prefer otherwise.

Student Preparation: Our school will prepare all students to act appropriately in the workplace and to respect the organisation's staff, property, information, and culture.

Should you wish to offer or extend the experience beyond the three days, it would be a decision agreed between yourself and the student(s) and it would be outside the scope of our school programme. The job shadowing programme is open to all industries.

If you are able to support this programme, kindly reply to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. by 14 June with your details and a scanned copy of your business card. The matching will be done by our school and if a match is identified, you will be contacted before the end of June.

We look forward to hearing from you very soon.

Thank you very much.
