Job Shadowing at the uToronto iSchool: Call for Hosts

January 18, 2016

The Alumni Association at the iSchool (Faculty of Information), University of Toronto is seeking hosts to participate in this year’s Job Shadowing Program.

We hope we can count on your support in providing iSchool students with the opportunity to experience what it’s like to work in the various information fields. If you are involved in an organization that can dedicate a half day or full day, for one or more students, we look forward to hearing from you.

To participate, please e-mail jobshadow.ischool@utoronto.ca by Jan. 30, 2016, with:

• the name of the contact person (usually the one being shadowed)
• preferred contact info (e-mail, phone, etc.)
• number of students you can accommodate
• length of visit (usually half-day or full day)

Once matched, you and the student(s) can arrange a mutually convenient time for the visit, between February and August, 2016.  No classes will be held the week of Feb. 15 (Reading Week), so students may want to visit you during that time.

This year’s program is being coordinated by Ricardo Laskaris, Alison Stirling, and Heather McTavish. Questions or comments can be sent to jobshadow.ischool@utoronto.ca.
