Tower Square Tenants Sought for JA Job Shadow Day
Everyone knows that the children are our nation's future decision-makers; so helping them to get off to a good start should be all of our responsibilities. That is one of the goals of Junior Achievement's Job Shadow program. This program brings students together with business people, creating a link between "learning and earning."
To reach out to students in our area the Tower Square management office would like to host a group of 25 students from Springfield Central High School for a Tower Square Tenant Job Shadow Day on Friday, February 1st. We are seeking both retail and office tenants who would be willing to allow 2 - 3 students follow them on the job from about 9:30 - 11:30am on February 1.
The JA Job Shadow program is designed to help students prepare for employment by making the critical link between the classroom and the workplace. Through activities both in the classroom and on the job site, students learn the importance and relevance of their education. The Job Shadow program can begin to provide students with the knowledge and skills they will need to achieve their dreams.
If you and your Tower Square business would like to play a part in this important endeavor by participating in the Tower Square Tenant Job Shadow Day or for additional information, please contact Annette Scheidecker in the Marketing Department at 733-2171, ext. 107. We would like to have at least eight participating tenants to make sure that the student-to-worker ratio is small.
News releases will be sent out promoting all participating tenants, and the media will be invited to attend. JA will also be placing a "thank you" ad in The Sunday Republican during the month of February, listing all of the participating businesses.
