Program Information
Job Shadowing takes place on ONE mutually agreed upon date between the student and site host, scheduled at any time during the SpursUp Program shadow week. The program is designed as a one-day, unpaid experience in which students visit the host organization to observe and learn about a career in action.
Each shadowing session may vary in length — some may last a full day, while others might only be a few hours. The agenda and details of the shadowing experience will be shared if you are matched with a host. Please note that job shadowing is not a multi-day internship. It should only extend beyond one day if both the student and site host specifically agree to meet more than once.
Please reach out to Sarah Blackmon with any questions.
