The 犹他谷大学 校友工作见习计划 is an opportunity for students to spend part of their day (in-person or virtually) with UVU alumni working in careers they are interested in pursuing after graduation.
This is an opportunity for you to host students at your organization for a day (in-person or virtually) to provide industry and career insights. Giving your time by volunteering can make a real and positive impact on a student!

This year's Job Shadow Program matched over 100 participants, facilitating numerous valuable connections. 学生s and alumni from diverse industries from animation to finance reflect the program's broad reach. While many pairs met in person, others connected virtually, maximizing accessibility. A heartfelt thank you to all who participated in making this program a success!
“My match was perfect, and I learned a great deal, not only about my specific field but about the criminal justice field in general. My favorite takeaway was learning about the disposition of evidence and the policies surrounding it.——学生
“这是我迄今为止最好的主持经历。 The student was very eager and curious about my position, industry and work. They came prepared with great questions for me that I could tell they are really seeking information and guidance/mentorship in my industry.” — Alum
“Even though I came into this not really prepared with what I wanted, Jared was very helpful in giving me both insight and feedback from the questions that I asked. And, it was nice to know that there really are other people besides friends and family who want me to succeed.——学生
“我真的很喜欢和我配对的那个学生！” I appreciated that she was studying the field I work in (last year, none of the students I was matched with were studying my field — just somewhat related fields). We actually ended up hiring this student as one of our interns because the job shadow was such a good experience! I am grateful I got to meet her in that setting.——明矾

In its second year, the 犹他谷大学 (UVU) 校友工作见习计划 continued to exemplify engaged learning by providing alumni and students the opportunity to connect for career exploration. The program allowed many UVU students to receive industry and career insights from UVU alumni working in their fields of interest.
整个1月份，校友们都与学生们面对面或虚拟地见面。 所有人都被邀请参加，包括住在犹他州以外的校友。 In fact, alumni across 10 states and 23 industries were represented! A couple of students were even offered a job or internship after participating.
“这个学生很专业，也很得体。 It was wonderful connecting with a new Wolverine, and I’m grateful to give back to the next generation!——弗吉尼亚大学明矾
“校友们非常开放和热情。 Her willingness to share the details of the day-to-day activities of her career really helped me clarify whether fieldwork is something I want to go into. I really appreciate her sharing her time, experience, and knowledge.——学生
“It was an honor and a pleasure to contribute to the education of science students by showing them practical scientific applications of composting at a university level. 如果我有机会被其他学生跟随，我很乐意。” — UVU Alum
“This experience was amazing, and he spent the time really helping me understand what I wanted to do in the future and how to make that possible with my future career.” — 学生
“我还以为很顺利呢！” 这是我第二年做这个，我很喜欢。——弗吉尼亚大学明矾
“I got to experience what a day in the life of a software developer is like and I really enjoyed it. 进入这个领域让我很兴奋。——学生

我们的第一届年度工作见习项目非常成功！ With over 200 participants, we matched many students and alumni together to create a meaningful and hands-on experience. 来自28个行业的校友为100多名学生提供了他们的时间和经验。 Because the program was offered in person as well as virtually, we had alumni participants from 11 states and 2 countries: the US and Jordan. One student was also offered an internship, and alumni let our team know about three more opportunities. Look below to read about some students’ and alumni’s experiences. Thank you to everyone who participated, and we hope to see you again next year!
“我有这样一个伟大的经历。 My alum was awesome to work with and really catered the experience to me and what I'm interested in, and introduced me to a lot of people who were also really kind to answer questions I had.——学生
“我认为这段经历很棒！ The student is a talented kid, willing to listen and learn. I feel like I was able to give him great information on the banking / lending / finance industry the has real world applicability. I look forward to staying in touch with the student. I also look forward to other job shadow opportunities with UVU students. I think it could also be a mutually beneficial relationship for future employment opportunities. 谢谢你的经历。——明矾 in the Finance/Banking - Commercial Banking Industry
“我有一段很棒的跟随校友的经历。 I got to witness a session with a client, and then she showed me what the behind-the-scenes of a clinical therapist's job looks like. She was able to help answer my questions about grad school, licensing, and private practice, as well as give me insight into what the life of a therapist is like. 我对这个项目只有积极的评价。——学生
“这是一次很棒的经历。 She asked great questions and we both felt like it was productive and a good meeting to have. She asked about what she could do to prepare for the workforce and we talked about what the workload was like. I learned more about what UVU is doing to prepare students for the career I'm in and what to look for when interviewing these students who are working for work.-技术-软件行业的校友
