Reflection for Work-Based Learning Experiences

This activity aims to reflect on the informational interview, worksite tour, and/or job shadow.

Discuss

Let’s take some time to reflect on what we learned. Think about your informational interview and your worksite tour and/or job shadow. What stood out to you?

  • What did you learn about the type of work?
  • What are the employers’ expectations?
  • What new things did you learn about their job or career path?
  • Were there any moments that surprised you or made you think differently about your career goals?
  • Did the interview give you ideas about what you might want to do in the future or things you want to learn more about?

Resource

Here is a Self-Reflection Worksheet to take some notes on what you thought. It is important to be honest. This helps me know your thoughts on the experience and it helps you know if you are still interested in this work or career.
