Discover work that fits your interests.
You do not have to know exactly what you are looking for. Sometimes it starts with something small: curiosity, a question, a feeling that you want to see more of something.
For anyone curious about what is possible.
MyShadowingDay is for anyone who wants to explore a next step without being tied to something right away.
- Pupils and students choosing a direction
- Starters who want to experience practice
- People returning to work who want to explore what fits
- People who are unsure about their current work
- Career switchers who want to get to know another world
- People who want to calmly explore where energy returns
What do you discover during a shadowing day?
You look along in practice and notice what a text alone cannot make clear.
What the work is really like
What happens on an ordinary day? What do you see, hear and notice when you join?
Which people you meet
How do people work together? What atmosphere is there? What makes this place its own?
What gives you energy
What makes you curious? What do you want to know more about? What feels less fitting?
Which environment feels right
Sometimes you discover something not only about work, but also about the place where you come into your own.
