The University of Windsor’s Co-op, Career & Experiential Education department is once again inviting hosts to take part in the Job Shadow program.
The initiative is designed to give students a first-hand look at life in the workplace.
The program provides opportunities for working professionals to share their insight and knowledge with current students at designated times during the Fall and Winter semesters.
For the Fall 2026 term, job shadowing sessions will take place between Oct.13 - 30. These visits can range from just a few hours to a full day and may involve a single student or a small group.
Hosts are encouraged to register now through the program website.
UWindsor on-campus based employees are encouraged to explore potential job shadowing opportunities they could facilitate in their roles. Alumni are also highly encouraged to explore the program and the mentorship opportunity it provides.
Students gain practical insights and a better understanding of various career paths, while hosts benefit from the opportunity to engage and guide emerging talent. Though the program is primarily intended for in-person experiences, virtual sessions via Teams or Zoom can also be arranged.
Hosts from across the region, including both on and off campus shadowing opportunities, are welcomed.
Host registration is open until Sept. 2.
