Job Shadow

Job shadowing is a type of experiential learning opportunity that involves observing working professionals throughout their typical workday or workweek. Through direct observation, you may learn important information that can help you make career decisions like choosing a major, occupation, or industry.

Benefits:

• Clarify career aspirations and professional goals. • Connect classroom learning to real-world application. • Explore different occupations and workplace cultures. • Develop professional networking contacts that may make finding and acquiring future internships or fulltime opportunities easier.

FSUshadow connects students with employers, community partners, alumni and friends of the university for one-day job shadowing experiences to provide career exposure in a wide variety of fields and industries. Students who participate in FSUshadow will gain knowledge and skills related to career decision-making and critical career competencies while in college. FSUshadow is planned during winter, spring, and summer breaks during the 2021-2022 academic year.
