Completing the U of T St. George (UTSG) Job Shadowing Orientation (formerly known as Career Exploration Orientation Workshop) will make you eligible to participate in the Job Shadowing program for up to three years.*
The Job Shadowing Orientation workshop is a mandatory training session for interested job shadowing participants that will review the program and help you gain skills to support your career exploration process. You will have the opportunity to self-reflect and apply your knowledge and skills in research and question development to help prepare you for your placement and engagement with your host while developing career exploration skills for beyond the program.
*As long as you are a current student or recent alumni up to two years. See PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY.

Program Eligibility
All undergraduate and graduate students and recent graduates within two years.
Please note, if you had attended a job shadowing orientation at the UTSC or UTM campus, you will still need to complete the UTSG Job Shadowing Orientation to participate in our UTSG Job Shadowing Program.
Please see below for considerations and exceptions to the required completion of the Job Shadowing Orientation Workshop.

Program Registration
The Job Shadowing Orientation workshop is offered several times throughout September 2024. Registration for each workshop opens 2-3 weeks before its start date. Please check back to this webpage or visit the Career Exploration & Education calendar on CLNx in mid-late August 2024 for workshop dates.

Considerations & Exceptions
If you completed the Career Exploration Orientation workshop in Winter 2024, you will maintain your eligibility for 3 years and during this time, you can apply for the UTSG Job Shadowing program without completing another orientation workshop as long as you are still a student or recent alumni (within 2 years).
If you completed the former two-part Career Exploration Orientation (both Part 1: Online Module and Part 2: Online Workshop) between September 2021 to August 2023, you will maintain your eligibility to Job Shadowing and will not have to complete the new Job Shadowing Orientation workshop, although we strongly recommend that you do so due to changes in the program. Please email careerexploration@utoronto.ca to confirm your eligibility.
