Information for students
What is job shadowing?
Beginnings are often difficult. To ease your entry into professional life, our mentors will support you within the framework of the job shadowing project. They will welcome you into their everyday working life for a day and will also invite you to take part in other activities that will support you in your career planning. You will learn first-hand what it truly takes to be successful and you will be able to build valuable professional contacts.
By participating, you will gain a practical insight into the field of activity and the work of your host mentor, gather expert information, find out about career prospects and forge valuable contacts.
This will help you with your transition into a job and your professional orientation.
Who can participate in the project? And how?
Students from all fields of study – regardless of their academic progress – are encouraged to use the initiative for their career development.
Browse through the profiles of the participating mentors, register for the launch event and take advantage of the opportunity to talk to the mentors and maybe secure your job shadowing spot right away. TIP: Take your up-to-date CV with you.
