REGISTER for L.E.O. WEEK
UNA’s job-shadowing week
September 30, 2024 – October 11
L.E.O. Week not only allows UNA students to network and participate in experiential learning by exploring jobs or careers of interest,
but also allows organizations a potential opportunity to recruit their next intern or employee.
We realize some employers cannot accept students to job shadow at their organization due to confidentiality concerns.
To ensure our students have ample opportunities, please let us know if your organization would be open to on-site group tours instead.
