The semester break is an excellent opportunity to meet with your mentor and if your mentor agrees, shadow them at work for a few hours or even a few days.

Work shadowing may include observing, attending meetings or going to court and is a useful learning experience. For this reason, shadowing opportunities are encouraged. Students shadowing their mentor will be covered by University insurance.

Note - Shadowing is NOT unpaid work experience. Students or mentors with queries should contact me h.green@unimelb.edu.au or (03) 8344 1000.
