Job shadowing - insights into future working life
Job shadowing gives students an exciting insight into their potential future career field for a day. Organisations or companies open their doors and allow students to get a taste of different areas or departments. This can ultimately be very informative for your own professional orientation and open up opportunities for further internships or even possible job prospects for the future.
Appointments for job shadowing can be arranged flexibly. If you are interested, please contact us by e-mail: 360gradzukunft@fh-potsdam.de

Bettys Job Shadowing at the XJAZZ! Festival
"The job shadowing gave me an exciting insight into the practical organisation of a festival. It was a great opportunity to experience first-hand how a major music event is organised and everything that goes into it. It was exciting to experience how good teamwork can create something special together."
Marlene at the XJAZZ! Festival
"Job shadowing at the XJAZZ Festival in Berlin was a great opportunity to gain a deeper insight into the organisation and running of a music festival. Behind the scenes, good teamwork and a high degree of flexibility were the be-all and end-all."
Career Talk with Spiel-Bau GmbH
As part of the FLEX Business Administration Basics course with lecturer Sabine Arndt, the successful Brandenburg-based company Spiel-Bau GmbH visited the lecture. The students not only learnt valuable information about founding and managing an international company, but also about the career opportunities available to them after graduation. The excursion was extremely beneficial for both sides and will become a fixed part of the FLEX course content in future.
Chantals Job Shadowing bei Radio TEDDY
„Ich durfte am 22.07.2025 für einige Stunden hinter die Kulissen von Radio TEDDY schauen. Besonders spannend fand ich, wie Nachrichten für einen Kinder- und Familiensender aufbereitet werden. Faszinierend war, wie viel während einer Live-Sendung im Studio passiert, um als Team ein angenehmes Hörerlebnis zu schaffen. Ich habe mich auch sehr über den Austausch mit den Mitarbeitenden gefreut, die ihren Weg in den Journalismus und zu Radio TEDDY mit mir geteilt haben.“
Johanna bei Radio Teddy
"Der Tag bei Radio Teddy hat mir einen guten Einblick gegeben: Mit im Studio zu sitzen und zu sehen, wie die Moderatoren die Show live moderieren, fand ich neben kleinen Recherche-Aufgaben am interessantesten."
Tonis "erhellender" Tag bei Selux
"Der Day of Light 2025 von Selux bot einen spannenden Einblick in die aktuellen Herausforderungen der Leuchtenindustrie und machte deutlich, dass Themen wie Naturschutz dort ernsthaftes Gewicht erhalten. Besonders eindrücklich war der Vortrag „The Beauty of Less“ von Franziska Holmsted (ZENISK), der die Idee eines „Weniger“ in der Lichtindustrie zur Diskussion stellte. Dass ein solches Prinzip in einem internen Branchentreffen ernsthaft verhandelt wird, empfand ich als beeindruckend. Für mich war es bereichernd, erstmals an einem solchen Forum teilzunehmen und zu erleben, wie Unternehmen wie Selux den Austausch und die Vernetzung in der Branche fördern."
Selman begleitet den Sozialarbeiter Andrés Lemos
"Eine sehr interessante und aufschlussreiche Erfahrung an der Ruth Cohn Schule in Berlin: Herr Lemos hat mich mit seiner angenehmen und kompetenten Art sehr gut durch den Tag geführt. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen."
