Job-Shadowing Programs
Cornell Career Services sponsors a variety of programs that provide alumni an
opportunity to offer hands-on experience to current students interested in exploring
the alum's career field.
Cornell FRESH ProgramHost a freshman at your workplace for one to two days during Spring Break, March 14—21, 2009, to give an "insider's view" of a career field. The majority of visits last one to two days, but can extend longer at the sponsor's request. Register online or download the pdf and fax the registration form by January 12, 2009, for your externship to
be included in the Round 1 application period. Registrations will continue to
be accepted after January 12, however, benefits of early registration include
additional publicity in the Cornell Daily Sun and multiple student application rounds to maximize placement opportunities.
Cornell Extern ProgramIntroduce a sophomore, junior, or senior to the world of work and provide guidance on course work, activities, etc., that will better prepare the student for a career in your industry. The extern (job-shadowing) visit would take place during Winter Break, January 2010. The majority of visits last one to five days, but can extend longer at the sponsor's
request. If your work setting is not conducive to visits from students, or if
you
are retired or between jobs, we encourage you to offer an informational interview
in the form of a lunch/dinner meeting or phone interview.
Registration for the January 2010 Cornell Extern Program begins in August 2009. If you would like us to contact you in August about the January 2010 program, please send an e-mail to NFL1@cornell.edu with your name, contact information, and career field; or, complete the FRESH sponsor registration (see above) and indicate that you are available for the January 2010 program only.
