Job Shadow Program
Discover your career path through our Job Shadow Program, which is designed to help Miami University students explore potential careers and gain real-world perspective.
Real People, Real Jobs
During a job shadow, you will:
- Spend time (typically two to eight hours) with professionals in your field of interest, observing daily operations and learning about industry expectations.
- Gain firsthand insight into what it’s really like to work in a chosen career, bridging the gap between classroom learning and the work world.
- Build confidence, expand your network, and develop a clearer sense of direction as you prepare for life after Miami.
The program is open to all students. You can even request a particular city, meaning you can job shadow from wherever Winter Term takes you.
Applications are no longer being accepted for the 2026 Winter Term Job Shadow experience. Visit our Experiential Education page for additional opportunities.
