Job Shadowing

Register with the Applied Learning Portal and help Missoula youth develop the skills they need to enter the 21st century workforce.

 

The MCPS Applied Learning Portal is an online resource designed to link high school students with volunteer, internship and job shadow opportunities in our community. The District is recruiting local professionals who may be willing to volunteer to provide these types of work-based learning experiences. In addition, educators will have access to the portal to identify professionals who may want to speak to students or provide classroom support. Registration is easy, so apply today to be an applied learning professional and help Missoula's youth better prepare for jobs in the 21st century!
