Prior to. and leading up to, this luncheon will be a "dream SHSM job lottery". Ballot boxes will be placed in all the high schools, with a poster featuring an employer from each SHSM sector who will be willing to take a "winner" of the lottery for a job shadowing experience. Announcements will take place during morning exercise in each of the schools regarding the "dream job lottery", for at least 2 weeks prior to draw. The idea is that student's will enter the draw and indicate which job(s) they would like to experience (from already pre-selected employers on the list) for a day. The draw will take place during the luncheon and followed-up with the "winners" being connected with their employer and arrangements will be made for the job shadowing to take place.
