Practicum Program
Resurrection College Prep offers an opportunity to explore various fields, shadow professionals, and test-drive career options. Our location on the Northwest Side of Chicago provides access to professional mentors and job shadowing placements in the city and suburbs.
The Resurrection College Prep Practicum Job Shadowing Program is an educational experience in the field where students are placed with mentors and actively participate in professional work settings. This program provides juniors and seniors with unique, hands-on work experience, which enables them to better understand the practical and personal skills required in careers that interest them. The classroom component extends and deepens students’ field experiences through personal interest assessments and reflections. Students obtain a better understanding of their own skills and interests as they prepare for college selection and career success.
