The student that would best benefit from this shadow is someone who is interested in politics/government work. Ideally, this person would be sociable and enjoy working with/talking with others. The student will be meeting a lot of our employees so being comfortable talking to new people would help make this a better experience for the student. Related majors: Political Science, Public Administration, Public Policy.
Please note: The Legislative Session begins the second Monday of January 2020 which is Monday, January 13th. This would be the best day for the job shadow. However, on the 13th, the Governor will deliver his State of the State speech and there is a slew of events happening around the capitol that day. Thus, this shadow is available either January 13th or 14th.
This is part of the UA Job Shadow Program (JSP). The JSP is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to gain first-hand exposure to a career field and be mentored by actual professionals. Unless otherwise noted, the experience is ONE DAY long and will take place during late Winter Break, on either January 13 or 14, 2020. This is not an employment opportunity and future employment with the organization is not associated with this program. You may apply to no more than 5 JSP opportunities, and if accepted, you must attend a JSP orientation before receiving the contact information for your host.
