Grade-9 Job Shadowing

This year’s job shadowing for Grade 9 learners at DHPS once again provided a fascinating first glimpse into the professional world.

After weeks of preparation in various subjects, the 2-week internship began on 30 September 2023 at different companies in and around Windhoek.

Learners explored a variety of professions, including mechatronic engineering, journalism, radio presenting, catering, laboratory work, dairy farming, architecture, law and notary services, teaching, dentistry, engineering, game design, physiotherapy, carpentry, and many more.

The learners were also introduced to a new, unfamiliar daily routine, which may have been perceived as stressful at first and perhaps even made the return to school seem less difficult.

After the job shadowing, each learner compiled a detailed report that served as an exam substitute and provided and in-depth reflection of their experiences.

The school would like to once again extend its heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this valuable experience possible.
