Sun Devil Shadow
Participating in job shadowing is a great way for students to learn more about an industry or job of interest, network with professionals, and get introductory experience of what the day-to-day looks like at a specific job. Job shadowing is unpaid and not for credit.
Job Shadow Activities
Each organization will have a different agenda for the day of job shadowing, but some examples of what could happen during your job shadowing experience are:
- Employee panels/Q&A
- Tour of job site/office/facility
- Organizational overview/history/mission
- Meeting the professional/team of professionals you will be shadowing
- Attend meetings or other events
- Shadow daily tasks – asking questions to better understand thought processes and workflows
- Network during lunch with other professionals in the organization
