Goals

  • Create a nation-wide online job shadowing program for sec. schools.

Overview

Plaid Apple Programs will use a nation-wide job shadowing forum, blog, and mentoring program online in conjunction with secondary schools in order to give the youth of America an initial passion in a career, mentor them through their secondary education, and ultimatily provide an awareness in the importance of education in a authentic and real-world context. This job shadowing/mentor program will create an interest in future roles in the job force, mentor struggling students through their education, and hopefully decrease the amount of drop out rates by giving any student the ability to seek out, practice, and aim for and educate themselves towards the job they desire. 
Plaid Apple could:
1.  Provide a real world job shadowing/mentor to any secondary student.
2.
