UPWARD BOUND SERVICES:
Career Exploration and Planning
Job Shadowing Program
Scholars explore a variety of careers they are interested
in learning more about. Scholars locate a local business within
that career field, draft a letter of interest to job shadow
for a day, and follow up the letter with personal contact. Once
a scholar has been accepted to job shadow, UB staff and the
scholar work on a list of questions to be answered during the
shadowing experience. After the job shadowing, the scholar develops
a report over his/her experience and presents it to the other
UB scholars.
Workstudy Program
During the summer, eligible scholars may explore a career that
requires a post-secondary education by working under the supervision
of a professional in that career. Scholars earn a monthly stipend
as indicated in a contract between the scholar, supervisor,
and UB staff.
