Wanted - Management to Shadow (Posted 30th March 2010)
Each year many senior managers and directors in both the private and public sectors take a year 12 (first year A level) student under their wing and are shadowed for 3 days. Shadowing gives the student a unique opportunity to observe and learn about management and business in the real world and makes a valuable contribution to the student’s personal development.
This is a very different experience from work experience as the student is expected to attend meetings with the manager and discuss and comment on the management techniques he observes. This can also make it a challenging and rewarding experience for the manager.
