“My overall experience with Job Shadow Week was amazing! I loved the icebreaker at the opening event—it was a great way to meet everyone. Spending the week at Secureworks was really eye-opening, and I enjoyed learning about the different jobs available in the field. My favorite activities were working on the closing event presentation and creating a mind map—those were super engaging!

The closing event was a perfect way to wrap up the week. It was awesome seeing what other groups had been working on. I’d definitely recommend Job Shadow Week to my friends—it was a 5 out of 5 experience for me. I’d also love to get more involved with WIT Girls and would be excited to become a WIT Girls Ambassador.”

“I absolutely loved the Job Shadow Week program! The opening event was especially great because it gave me a deeper understanding of the WIT Girls program as a whole, not just the job shadowing aspect. My week with Equifax was amazing, and I learned so much. I had no idea how many job opportunities they offer, and it was eye-opening to hear how many people working there didn’t initially think they’d end up in tech.

At first, I wasn’t sure about pursuing technology, since my interests were more aligned with the medical field and business. However, after learning that IT isn’t just about technology but also has a business side, I started considering it as a potential career path. The closing event was great, though the videos had some technical issues that made it hard to see everything.

Overall, I had a fantastic experience and would definitely recommend the program to my friends. I’m also excited about the possibility of starting a WIT Girls Club at my school!”

“I had a fantastic experience during Job Shadow Week! The icebreaker activities at the opening event helped me connect with others right away. Spending the week with The Weather Company was a great learning experience. The team was extremely nice, and I appreciated how helpful they were in answering all my questions.

My favorite part of the week was learning more about ChatGPT. It was fascinating, and I would love to dive deeper into it. The closing event was a nice way to wrap things up, although I felt that State Farm’s presentation took up most of the time. Still, it was great seeing everyone’s presentations.

I would definitely recommend Job Shadow to friends and I’m excited to participate again next year. Thank you for this amazing opportunity!”

“My experience during Job Shadow Week was absolutely amazing! The opening event was a great way to start, especially hearing from everyone and getting inspired by Zareenah. My week with EarthLink was eye-opening. I was introduced to various career opportunities in tech, especially NLP, which I didn’t know much about before. I even had the chance to code my own NLP program—such a hands-on learning experience!

The closing event was interesting, but there were some technical difficulties with videos not loading. I also feel that the time spent on presentations could have been shortened, allowing for more in-depth sessions with the host company. Nevertheless, I loved seeing what everyone else learned and shared.

I would absolutely recommend Job Shadow to my friends. It’s a fantastic opportunity, and I’m already looking forward to participating again next year!”

I especially enjoyed meeting the ambassadors from each company and hearing their stories. I loved the four corners game because I got to reconnect with old friends and make new ones who shared the same interests as me.

I really appreciated the time the team at The Weather Channel gave us. I learned that the Weather Channel is so much more than just people telling you the weather—there are opportunities for anyone who enjoys STEAM. The activities were fun and intriguing, and it was great bonding with my teammates while meeting others outside of my team.

The closing event was a highlight for me—I enjoyed seeing everyone’s projects, each presented in a unique and different way. No two were alike, and it was inspiring to hear about the experiences others had at different companies.

Sitting with the girls I’d be partnered with for the week also helped me feel more comfortable and excited about what was ahead.

Throughout the week, I especially enjoyed the diverse panels hosted by State Farm. It was eye-opening to learn that even if you specialize in one area, there are so many different roles you can pursue.
