This is an opportunity for students to develop career-related knowledge, skills, and values from direct experience - observing and networking with a professional in the field.
Students use the experience gained from YOU to complement their academic learning and start making decisions about their career futures.

Program expectations:

One-time commitment - though preferrably you will stay in touch with your matched student after the initial visit.
Volunteer your time for at least half a day, but preferrably a full day to host.
Be available during June 2008.
Be able to host a student on a day when he/she can observe you work and ask questions.

If your work environment is not conducive to a shadowing experience, you can still be helpful to our students through other networking opportunities.
