Career Development Program

JOAG Career Development Program Flyer

Job shadowing is a professional, career development and exploration activity that offers the opportunity to spend time with a more senior professional currently working in a person’s field of interest. Junior officers who shadow get to observe the day-to-day activities of someone in the current workforce and also get a chance to actively engage with more senior officers. Senior officers are able to offer their unique experience and insight with junior officers in an enriching manner. Job shadowing is a brief commitment that can have a significant impact on participants. Beyond allowing participants to increase their understanding of the responsibilities of a senior officer, it also links senior officers with junior officers with the potential for future mentorship at their own discretion.
