Career & Job Shadowing Opportunities:
Southeast Nebraska Area Health Education Center (SE-AHEC) is proud to provide interested students with opportunities to learn about healthcare careers first hand. Job shadowing through SE-AHEC gives individuals 16 years and older the opportunity to observe and learn about the world of work in a health care setting. The experience permits the participant to gain an understanding of a typical day for an employee, and the skills necessary to complete the work required. Please click HERE for more information, guidelines and application for the 2009 job shadowing program.
