Host a Jay – Job Shadowing Opportunity

Job shadowing is temporary, unpaid exposure to the workplace in an occupational area of interest to a student. Through the shadowing program, Johns Hopkins alumni and parents have the unique opportunity to invite students to explore career options and refine their interests.

A typical shadowing experience may involve sitting in on an executive meeting, observing a client presentation, or attending a strategic management meeting.
