Job Shadows
Some of the best classrooms have no walls!
Job shadowing is a career development strategy where an individual follows a professional to observe their daily tasks, meetings, and workplace culture. Typically, lasting one day to a few hours, it helps students and career-changers explore industries, build networks, and gain firsthand insight into a specific role.
With over 60 members, NWILED can facilitate job shadows for interested students and career-changers in a variety of industry sectors:
- Agriculture and Agritourism
- Construction
- Manufacturing
- Retail
- Finance
- Real Estate
- Professional Servies
- Higher Education
- Public Administration
- Energy
Those interested in building their professional networks, finding future mentors, internships, or apprenticeships, improving their soft skills, and or wanting to add the experience to a college application and/or resume may inquire.
