Abstract

The Information Systems (IS) Job Shadow program allows undergraduate students to engage in an experiential learning opportunity with IS professionals. The job shadow includes a half-day visit with a local business to learn about IS, how IS supports the business, and careers within IS. This research examines the role of the IS job shadow on post-secondary undergraduate student self-efficacy and behavior intentions by measuring student intent on pursuing the IS major and IS career both before and after the IS job shadow.
