This activity is an extension of their school day. Job shadow experiences should last at least 3 hours or length of the school day, 8:00a - 2:00p.

The last day to register is Friday, October 13, 2023. Once job shadow assignments are finalized you will receive a student roster and educator contact information by Friday, October 20, 2023. MEBA will work with the BIA of Central SC, ABC Carolinas, NAWIC, Carolinas AGC and other industry partners to coordinate these extended learning opportunities and place students on a first-come, first-serve basis, taking into consideration their regional location and area of interest.
