How do I set up an 8 hour or less Job Shadow?

***Remember, if you are a high school student, you MUST attend a Career Experience Event before being considered for a job shadow.

Step 1: Identify the career you would like to shadow and facility which offers that area.
Click here for the current list of available job shadows.
Step 2: Complete the correct application.
Once you have identified the facility where you'd like to do a job shadow, click on the appropriate link below to access the correct application.

For Affinity Health System: Click here.

For Agnesian Healthcare, Aurora Health Care, or Orthopedic & Sports Institute of the Fox Valley:

For ThedaCare: Click here.

Step 3: Make sure all required signatures are on the application.
  • High school students must have a school representative sign and date the application form.

  • If you are an adult/dislocated worker trying to shadow for a day before applying to a school program, you will not have a school representative sign the application, nor will you have to fill out the school information section.
Step 4: Review and Understand the Job Shadow Information Sheet.

Step 4a: Student Health Requirement Form.
            Only for shadows in OB/GYN, Peds or NICU (All Facilities) or shadows at the  Orthopedic and Sports Institute of the Fox Valley.
There are additional requirements for the areas noted above.  You need to fill out the Health Requirements form as well as the application in Step 2.  (All other students who are NOT asking for a shadow in the areas above only have to do the application in Step 2.)
Step 5: Email, mail or fax completed application to the contact person of the organization where you hope to do a job shadow.
  • Remember, if student is under age 18, parent/guardian MUST sign form

  • Forms can be scanned and emailed or hard copy mailed to the contact person noted below
