Job Shadow Program
Take a Wave to work!
Introduce current Pepperdine students to your industry by hosting them in your workplace.
The Pepperdine Job Shadow Day program connects current undergraduate students with employers, alumni, parents, and community partners for a job shadowing experience. Students are matched with host professionals in the Greater Los Angeles area or virtually across the globe to provide them with exposure to a wide variety of career fields and industries. Serving as a Job Shadow Day host is a great opportunity to mentor Pepperdine students, provide insights into your daily work, and spread awareness of your company/organization and available positions through hands-on learning.
Job Shadow Program Dates
As the host, you will work directly with your student match or matches to schedule a mutual date and time for the job shadow experience. We recommend scheduling the experience during the dates below.
