Juniors on the job: Crothersville students job shadow

April 13, 2026

By Zach Spicer

Again this spring, JCIDC partnered with Crothersville High School guidance counselor Katie Whitehead to arrange job shadowing opportunities for juniors.

On April 10, several members of the Class of 2027 spent the morning shadowing business professionals who work in their career field of interest.

In the photos, Koby Davis and Ryley Marsh shadow at Dorsey’s Auto Body Center in Seymour, Kelsie Walker shadows at Wild Souls Hair Co. in Seymour, Nathan Copple shadows at S-Tech Machine & Welding in Crothersville and Madison Smith shadows with Erin Barker Photography in Seymour.

Thanks to these people for taking the time to offer this opportunity for the juniors!

Here are comments shared on Facebook by Barker about her time spent with Smith.

“I got to spend the morning with some new talent emerging in our area,” Barker said. “Meet Madison. She is behind the lens at Forever Films and a junior at Crothersville High School. We spent the morning going over education, and after our mini session client left, we took some fun branding photos. Forever thankful to be where I am and be in a position to help the next generation learn this art.”

Smith told Barker she learned a lot, and Barker said she left an open invitation for future questions and help.

That’s what it’s all about.
