Job Shadowing is a popular on the job learning, career development, and leadership development intervention. Essentially, Job Shadowing involves working with another employee who might have a different job in hand, might have something to teach, or can help the person shadowing him or her to learn new aspects related to the job, organization, certain behaviors or competencies. Job Shadowing will help the student to get a true picture of what it would be like to work in one job.
