JOB SHADOWING

Horizon offers one-day experiences to those who have researched careers of interest and wish to gain further clarity about their career choices by observing and asking questions. This experience is self-driven, and not a school assignment or requirement.  Job shadowing can last anywhere from an hour to a full work shift.

Your application must demonstrate what you have done to explore and learn about the profession you are requesting to shadow.  Our goal is to give you the opportunity to explore health care careers in a meaningful way.  Do your homework and be prepared to have a robust dialogue!

Take stock of what you already know about the profession you are asking to observe and what you are still curious about.  Be aware of any preconceived ideas you have about the job/industry, both good and bad.  Acknowledge what you’re still unsure about related to the profession/industry.  Know what information and advice you are looking for.

Requests are submitted no less than 3 weeks prior to the start date of the timeframe sought; identify a two-week period between the start date and the end date.  The confirmed date, the start time and the length for the visit will be determined between the Manager and the Applicant.

Requests are approved based on Horizon’s capacity and availability.
