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.

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.
