What is the best way to show this situation?

We are training a new resource, let's call him Newbie. He will be riding shotgun on a task assigned to an experienced resource, let's call him Joe Pro.
I want to assign Newbie to the same task as Joe Pro, however, Newbies's contribution to the task will be nil. This way, it will show him scheduled on that task, but he won't be affecting the duration.

What I did was assigned them both to the same task. However, I can't keep Newbie from affecting the duration, even though, he is set to 0% Units. I suppose I could double the work, however, that isn't true either.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
