16-207 Sport and Exercise Science Field Experience 2: Job Shadowing Practitioner
This course is designed to serve as a tool to explore career options and develop realistic expectations in Sport and Exercise Science in either a profit or not-for-profit setting. Students will job shadow a practitioner (personal trainer, equipment manager, marketing specialist, etc.) for a minimum of forty hours. Emphasis will be placed on the search process (identifying individual interests and matching them with appropriate organizations), the application process (telephone, written contact, and interviewing skills/strategies), the orientation process (establishing measurable outcomes and asking appropriate questions), and the job shadowing process (following and learning from a practitioner in the Sport and Exercise Science field). This is a graded course.
