Employer Participation Information

Employers submit a job shadow description in order to participate. The description will include:

• Overview of the planned experience
• Activities can include observation of daily work, informational interviews, meetings within the organization, coffee/lunch at the office or worksite, a tour of the organization, hands-on experience and meet-and-greets with current interns and/or college hires
• Contact name, email and phone
• Length of planned experience (minimum of 2 hours, maximum of 8 hours)
• Preferred majors
• Any site restrictions/policies: security, attire, photos allowed, parking, days or timing of experience
• Maximum number of individual job shadow matches allowed

The Business Career Center will make the “match” and inform both the employer and student of next steps, including the deadline for the job shadow to occur. The employer and student will determine the date and time of the job shadow. Employers will receive contact information for all students who applied for the job shadow program, regardless of the match. Following the job shadow, employers will be asked to complete a brief evaluation of the job shadow program and their student participants. Employers will be allowed to offer multiple job shadow experiences but are not guaranteed that all experiences will be matched to students.
