What is it?
Job shadowing is an activity of on-the-job training, implemented with international agencies, organizations, institutions, NGOs, and other stakeholders whose know-how in migration issues is relevant for the participants.
Thanks to this activity, each professor have the opportunity to work alongside an expert on the field and observe/participate in his/her job.
This training experience allow the academic staff to acquire insight on the role, activity and methodology of the organization “shadowed”. Moreover, it can prove valuable for expanding the network and sharing as well as improving knowledge and skills.
