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
