Churchill County’s Work-Based Learning program is seeking area businesses interested in helping shape the next generation of community leaders through meaningful job shadow experiences. The district continues to strengthen its Career Pathways initiative by connecting students with professionals who can offer real-world insight into daily operations, career expectations, and industry-specific skills.
Job shadowing allows students to explore careers they may be interested in pursuing after high school, while helping them discover whether a particular path is the right fit. These experiences build confidence, expand professional networks, and provide valuable exposure that cannot be taught in the classroom.
A recent example highlights the impact of these partnerships. Isabel, a Churchill County High School student, recently began a job shadow at Dandelion Express. In this local floral shop, she spent time learning about floral design, holiday preparation, wedding arrangements, and the business side of running a shop.
The CCHS Work-Based Learning program is currently expanding, and Churchill County businesses of all sizes—from ranches, trades, retail shops, healthcare, and manufacturing to hospitality, agriculture, and professional services—are invited to participate. Even hosting just one student for a single job-shadow day can make a long-lasting difference.
Businesses interested in participating or learning more about the program are encouraged to contact the Work-Based Learning office by phone or email [email protected].
By opening their doors, Churchill County businesses can play a vital role in inspiring our youth, developing career-ready graduates, and strengthening the local workforce. Together, we can shape futures and build a stronger community, one student at a time.
