Students
say ...
"A great experience.
I came in touch with another world; the real world.
I never could have imagined how a real working
day in the marketing department of a FMCGs company
is or how financial analysts in brokerage firms
spend their day. Now I know where I want to head
with my career choice. A word of thanks to my
mentors ... your time and efforts have been well
invested."

In Job Shadowing, a corporate member
hosts a student to experience the day-to-day tasks of his/her
job. The program allows students to gain exposure to various
career fields and help them make a sound career decision.
This process may result in a mentorship relationship that
would guide the students throughout the career planning
process.
Required
Time
We recommend at least 1-2 working days at the company’s
premises. Although job shadowing can take place any time during
the academic year, it is ideally conducted during the mid-year
recess (generally in January).
Your
role
You can carry out your regular work responsibilities and the
student will act as your "shadow", learning through
observation. During the day, you may need to allocate some
time within your schedule to talk to the student about your
work and its significance to the organization, and respond
to any inquiries s/he may have.
Suggested
activities
During the job shadowing visit, students may be invited to
attend staff or corporate meetings whenever it doesn't contradict
with confidentiality policies. A site visit and sharing of
information about the company, field and job responsibilities
are also helpful.
If you are interested in
volunteering the time and offering a shadowing experience
to an AUC student in your field of profession, please complete
