CITY OF ST. CHARLES JOB SHADOWING PROGRAM - AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN ABOUT CAREERS OF INTEREST AND EARN CREDIT
Many Compass Academy students engaged in job shadowing through this program last year, and we are hoping that even more students will participate this year. In the city's career pathway job shadow program, Compass students can shadow people in many career fields, including engineering, communications, accounting, firefighting, government, law enforcement, construction, forestry, water management, and vehicle maintenance. Students who participate in job shadowing on Wednesdays, and then write reflections about their experiences, have the opportunity to earn credit for career exploration.
Interested students should print and complete the Registration Form and return it to Ms. Ohlson at Compass Academy. Students may also receive a paper copy of this form from Ms. Ohlson in her office.

NORTHWESTERN MEDICAL DISCOVERY PROGRAM
Throughout this one-year Discovery Program, students are exposed to a broad range of activities designed to encourage their interest in healthcare careers. In addition, the program fosters character and professional development, cultivates life skills, provides leadership experience, and offers opportunities to meet staff that will share their path and experiences from high school, college, to what they do now.
Program activities include tours, guest speakers, group discussion, and hands-on projects. Meetings are held once a month, most often on Saturday mornings from 9:00am-12:00pm. The NM Discovery West Chapter and the Greater DeKalb Chapter collaborate a lot, so meetings will be held at Central DuPage Hospital, Delnor Hospital, Kishwaukee Hospital, and various off-site NM locations. Please note, meeting dates, times, and topics are subject to change. Participants are responsible for their own transportation.

Application portal opened on August 1st, 2022.
