Job Shadowing Program
The purpose of a job shadow experience is to provide potential applicants and students with a clear, candid experience of a specific job in order to ensure the career path is a good fit for the individual. By providing high school students, college students, and individuals exploring a second career with an opportunity to shadow a WVU Healthcare (West Virginia University Hospitals/University Health Associates) employee, we encourage individuals to pursue healthcare careers and future WVU Healthcare (WVU Hospitals/University Health Associates) employment opportunities.
