Job Shadowing Program
The annual Job Shadowing Program sponsored by the Faculty of
Information
Studies (FIS) Alumni Association takes FIS students at the
University of
Toronto into libraries, archives and information systems
related workplaces
for a half-day or a day to observe the life of an
information professional
at work. In the spring of 2007, we had about 90 host
institutions offering
more than 200 shadowing opportunities!
Once again we invite you to participate for a full day or a
half-day to show
one or more students the ropes. You can provide students
with valuable
insight into professional practice by:
• having them observe your workplace;
• explaining how your day is organized;
• outlining your responsibilities; and
• generally giving them a feel for life on the job.
In return you will keep abreast of emerging trends in the
field and you will
meet new and upcoming professionals and future colleagues.
To participate in the 2007-08 program, please register (or
fill in the form
below) by Friday, December 14, 2007.
• Students will review the available job shadowing
opportunities and make
their selection by the February break.
• Students are responsible for contacting their hosts.
• Together, the student and host will arrange the visit at a
mutually
convenient time. Hosts from other cities, for example, may
find that their
student may not be free to visit until the summer.
Hosts from the Greater Toronto Area are especially
encouraged to submit a
posting.
