Job Shadow Experience (Accountant)

Job Shadow Experience

Whitinger is proud to invest in the next generation of students by offering a limited number of job shadow experiences! This program is a fantastic opportunity for students to dive into the world of public accounting and serves as a preview before an official internship. You will gain valuable insight, connect with our exceptional team, and position yourself for academic success and a future career. We believe in the potential of the next generation, and we look forward to helping you take those important first steps!

Job shadowing is a unique type of on-the-job training in which a student learns from an experienced Whitinger accountant by observing them as they perform their job tasks. It focuses on practically developing the skills needed to perform the tasks of a staff accountant rather than simply reading a job description or being told the ins and outs of the job.

We can't wait to see how this experience helps you explore your passions and shape your future.

Job shadow experience:

• We believe that tailoring our program to match each student's interests is key to creating an enriching learning experience.
• Our job shadow program usually spans 10-15 hours over the course of 2-3 days at a Whitinger office.
• The student's role is largely observational. Our team will provide exposure to a wide range of roles within our firm, as well as various career paths in accounting.
• Students will interact with Whitinger senior associates as well as recent graduates in the first few years of their careers. They have a wealth of knowledge to share!
• Participants will receive coaching on resume development and networking, and will also receive a professional profile photo.
• The value of a job shadow experience lies in the insight and perspective it provides. Participants are not paid.
• This program is ideal for high school juniors and seniors, as well as college freshmen and sophomores.
