CTE On December 8th the RHS Work Based Learning students attended a Junior Achievement Job Shadow event hosted by PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC), of Minneapolis.  Students learned the history of the company, heard personal experiences from one of the partners and met volunteers from the various components of PwC.  Students rotated through 4 modules:  Ethical Decision Making, Mock Interviewing, In's and Out's of Stocks, and a toured the facilities, and were treated to lunch!  It was a fun as well as an educational trip, and the view from the upper floors   of the Capella Tower was especially unique.
