Career Exploration & Job Shadowing

Volunteer Services is excited to collaborate with Workforce Planning and Business Partnerships to support Saskatchewan's Health Human Resource Action Plan by providing Job Shadow opportunities for: 

• Grade 11 and 12 high school students
• Post-secondary students
• Community memebers
• Current SHA employees.

Job Shadows provide individuals an opportunity to observe an SHA employee within a health-care environment as they carry out their daily duties. This experience will help individuals determine if the healthcare role fits their personality or their professional goals before entering a field of employment or education.                 

Job Shadows are:

• available in placements of 4 or 8-hour durations;
• a one-time/single location placement opportunity;
• available in a variety of areas/locations, but does not include physician shadowing or surgical/critical care placements including Emergency Departments.

Each application will be assessed from an operational perspective based on ability to support the request in a particular community or department.

Prior to being scheduled applicants will complete all screening requirements:

• General Orientation
• Criminal record check (CRC)
• Privacy & Confidentiality
• IPAC guidelines
• SHA Policies relevant to the shadow
