Job Shadow Opportunities

Are you interested in healthcare careers but want to see what they are like before entering into healthcare? The University of Michigan-West offers job shadow opportunities for students who wish to learn more about healthcare!

This opportunity is not through the school but is a great chance for those who are interested in healthcare careers and a potential chance to meet people in the field. There are several forms that do need to be completed for the job shadow and there are certain criteria that must be met for the job shadow opportunity to occur. Here is the link for the University of Michigan-West Job Shadow. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Mr. Linker.

Kent ISD Student Job Board
