Participating organizations include Creech Import Repair, Bland Landscaping, N.C. State University's Department of Biological Sciences and Clean Design. The week of job shadowing is part of the program's annual series of events organized by the Alliance, which was preceded by mock interviews and a career fair earlier this year.

Through career-related events, businesses can help prepare students to be future employees of Wake County.
