The University of Windsor’s Career Centre 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.

Held during Reading Week in both the fall and winter semesters, the program provides opportunities for working professionals to share their insight and knowledge with current students.
