BUILD Bay Area Job Shadow Day hosted by Partners EY, PwC, and Okta

On April 27, BUILD Bay Area partners EY, PwC, and Okta hosted a job shadow day for seniors from Aspire Golden State College Preparatory Academy and Aspire Lionel Wilson College Preparatory Academy.
The day included one-on-one shadowing, career panels, building tours, and joint staff and student work exercises, all of which our students and teachers enjoyed and found impactful.

Due to the pandemic, it had been over three years since we organized an off site visit, and the event reminded us that job shadowing is a crucial part of the BUILD student experience.


Thank you Okta, EY, and PwC for opening your doors to our students and organizing an amazing day!
