The University of Toronto Mississauga Career Centre has run a Job Shadow Program (JSP for many years, allowing students to visit work sites, explore career options, gain workplace knowledge and connect with industry professionals. University students benefit from experiencing careers with a hands on approach. When COVID entered the picture, the activities had to change to virtual programming. Our campus was able, during COVID 19, to engage with hosts in various industries to give students a chance to learn and explore in a job shadow placement with project based learning. This program provided an opportunity for hosts to stay involved with students and the University even during times with no hiring activities. It represents a lower level of resourcing that might encourage hosts to become more involved in WIL. Students were able to learn and use their skills when paid and volunteer opportunities are challenging to find.
