Job Shadowing

What exactly is Job Shadowing?

• You follow a sponsor at their office to gather information about their job, career field and the kind of preparation you need to enter their profession
• Sponsors (employer participants) are people who are Auburn alumni, parents or friends who volunteer their time to help Auburn students
• You are matched with a sponsor whose occupation most closely matches your career interests
• You receive the name of your sponsor after the Participant Form is completed
• We are unable to set-up job shadowing requests for most medical fields. The exceptions are physical therapy, occupational theraphy, speech therapy, and pharmacy.

Who may participate in Job Shadowing?

• All Auburn students and alumni are eligible
• You may participate as many times as you like in the program as long as you fulfill the Job Shadowing requirements
