F&A Job Shadow Program
The Job Shadow Program is hosted by Finance and Administration and is open to all Finance and Administration and Finance Center employees. It is designed to provide experiential learning opportunities by allowing participants to shadow an individual, in a given department or a specific position, to help them learn about skills needed and/or activities managed for that position. This program provides an opportunity to expand knowledge, experience the workplace setting, and gain understanding of duties performed by the individual being shadowed.
This commitment is for only eight (8) hours over three (3) months. The schedule is flexible to allow participants the ability to coordinate the best days and times to make this a valuable and enjoyable experience.
Program Goals
The goals of the job shadowing program are designed to assist participants by:
• Observing the daily routines of the individual they are shadowing
• Beginning to identify career interests
