Shadow Day - Monday, April 13, 2015
Whereas, National Job Shadowing Day is championed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and
many other organizations; and
Whereas, Job Shadowing is an academically motivating activity designed to give young people
the unique opportunity of an up -close look at the world of work and provide the answer to the
commonly asked question, "Why do I have to learn this?"; and
Whereas, Job Shadowing provides job seekers and youth a unique look into different industries
and careers within those industries. It's a great way to learn from others in the role, gain
perspective from their experience, and get a true feel for that particular job, company and
industry without the pressures of an actual interview. It's a great way to learn more about what
makes the company work; and
Whereas, Job shadowing is about three things: Education, Information, and Involvement. The
experience is interactive and provides a good education about the opportunity, information about
the companies and the culture, and provides an opportunity for the person job shadowing to be
involved; and
Whereas, on April 13, 2015, members of the Pittsylvania County Youth Commission will be
participating in Job Shadowing at local businesses to include Gretna Centea Medical Center,
Dewberry, Reynolds -Clark Development, the Pittsylvania County Sheriff's Department, the Star
Tribune, Attorney Sandra Gilstrap- Chinn, Steve Padgett Honda, and others; then
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the Pittsylvania County Boards of Supervisors do hereby
proclaim Monday, April 13, 2015, as Pittsylvania County Youth Commission Shadow Day.
Given under my hand this day 17`x' day of March, 2015.

Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors
