Spend one or several days during Winter Break shadowing at a selected employer site.

2009 Fall Registration - Closed Next Year's Shadowing Dates: TBA

Over the last ten years, Career Services has assisted Texas State students in discovering what it's like to work in specific career fields through the Job Shadowing Program.

This unique externship offers students a chance to test out their career choices during the winter break. The primary goal of the program is to expose a diverse group of students to a career setting within their major. Students who participate in the program have an opportunity to examine job responsibilities and skills to gain insight into the future outlook of occupations they are considering. Students may also develop possible contacts for internships or full-time jobs.

Dedicated employers in Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio and the Central Texas corridor graciously support the Career Services Job Shadowing Program.

This opportunity is FREE to students - the only cost is transportation to the shadowing site. For more information, please refer students to Career Services,  512.245.2645 or they can e-mail Karen Julian at kjulian@txstate.edu.
