How the Program Works

  1. Students review opportunities online beginning September 9.
  2. Students apply between September 19 and October 19 by submitting a draft of their resume and an essay in which they indicate their top 3 choices and describe how they expect to benefit from the career shadowing experience.
  3. Career Center staff will "match" student preferences with shadowing opportunities on a first-come, first-served basis.
  4. Sponsors and students will be notified that a match has been made by October 26. Sponsors will receive the name and contact information for the student; students will not receive contact information until the following two steps have been completed.
  5. Students will revise their resumes and get them approved by Career Center staff.
  6. Students will attend a mandatory "pre-departure workshop" at which staff from the Career Center and the alumni office will review expectations for program participation.
  7. Once students have completed steps 5 & 6, they will receive contact information for their shadow sponsor.
  8. Students will make initial contact with shadow sponsor between November 21 and December 2 to arrange a mutually convenient day and time for the shadowing experience.
  9. Students will arrive to "shadow" you for a day/half-day between January 2 - 13, 2013.
  10. Students and sponsors will complete a (required) evaluation of the HamiltonExplore program.
