The NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC)
manages and facilitates the center-specific Job Shadowing Program
(JSP). The program targets high school and undergraduate students
and offers an opportunity to experience the practical application
of STEM, business, and other disciplines aligned to NASA’s
long-term workforce needs, in a NASA-unique workplace setting.
Program participants receive insight into NASA and KSC’s history,
current activities, and other student opportunities through
briefings, tours, and career panels. Each participant is then
matched with a subject matter expert to gain direct exposure to the
implementation of their respective fields of interest and related
career paths.
The change in burden to the
Federal Government increased due to changes in pay scale, the
addition of the narrative question in the application, and the
broadening of career disciplines. With the broadening of career
disciplines, there will be an increase in the number of student and
faculty respondents. Additionally, adjustments correspond to
changes in the occupational pay scales as reported by the Bureau of
Labor and Statistics. The change in burden to the students was due
to the addition of the narrative question in the application and
the broadening of career fields will increase the quantity of
students completing the application. The total annual cost burden
for these respondents was also increased as many students are now
employed during their high school and college educations.
