How do I set up a 4 hour or less Job Shadow?
***Remember, if you are a high school student, you MUST attend a Virtual Career Experience Event before being considered for a job shadow.***
The Fox Valley Health Care Alliance places significant emphasis on professionalism and readying your high schooler for a professional environment. Parents must refrain from making contact to any of the health care facility representatives on behalf of your high schooler. All communication concerning job shadow opportunities will be conducted between the student and the health care facility representatives. Adherence to this expectation allows the maximum growth of the participant throughout the experience.

As surge numbers are lowering, job shadows may be considered by individual facilities. Please see information for each location below, and reach out directly to the location contact with questions.
