CSU Job Shadowing
In 2020 I worked with Joan Torne to Pioneer The CSU Job Shadow Program which now includes students from several CSU campuses.
This program consists of:
• Touring the offices, meeting staff and learning about their career paths.
• Attending/observing meetings, attending trainings and conferences, a group discussion with a campus executive.
• Resume review by HR professionals, mentor matching, and opportunities to learn first-hand what the day-to-day activities are in your field of interest.
