Connecting Students to a World of Opportunity!

AT&T is partnering with JA Worldwide on Junior Achievement’s largest corporate job shadow initiative to date.

Through the AT&T/JA Worldwide Job Shadow Initiative, AT&T will reach 100,000 students, grades 9-12, across the United States over five years.

AT&T employees team up with students, providing them with the opportunity to experience the world of work firsthand. Since the Job Shadow Initiative started in 2008 through fall of 2009, employees have spent close to 92,000 volunteer hours helping students.

By visiting a corporate site, students learn about careers and develop an understanding of the educational background and skills they will need to succeed on the job.

The $5.5 million AT&T/JA Worldwide Job Shadow Initiative is part of the AT&T Aspire program – to provide a chance for students to explore potential future careers and connect classroom learning to real life opportunities.
