Georgia College is Georgia's public liberal arts university. With 7,000 students (6,000 undergraduate and 1,000 graduate) Georgia College is the perfect size to challenge students through exemplary teaching and highly intentional engagement.

This career exploration/professional development opportunity is part of the University of Arizona Job Shadow Program (JSP). The JSP offers one-of-a-kind, low-stakes, high-value experiences for current Wildcats to gain firsthand exposure to careers, fields, and workplaces, and to interact closely with actual professionals and employers. Unless otherwise noted, JSP shadows last ONE DAY (4-8 hours) and will take place during Spring Break, March 9-13, 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 per session, and if accepted, you must attend a JSP orientation before receiving the contact information for your host and to remain eligible to fulfill your shadow.
