About JobCamp

admin@jobcamp.org
JobCamp.org is a career shadow program developed to help current students explore career possibilities by matching them with local professionals. We have participation from a variety of businesses, ranging from medical, engineering, education, real estate, small businesses, etc.
Students learn about robot manufacturing at Flex.
Students get hands-on exposure to media relations and corporate communications at Hewlett Packard Enterprise

Firms host anywhere between 1 and 30 students to come to “live in their shoes” at their local place of business to learn all about careers. Some students are invited to shadow for a few hours, some for a whole day. Some firms offer a single career and some firms are offering a range of careers from HR to Finance to Marketing to Engineering in a single visit.

JobCamp.org is an excellent opportunity for students to learn more about what they may want to do in the future. These exposures are valuable learning experiences to help students make plans for their future.
