Connect Alumni Expertise with Student Career Exploration

Career shadowing programs are one of the most impactful ways high schools can connect current students with real-world career paths—and alumni are perfectly positioned to open those doors. This High School Alumni Career Shadowing Host Application helps schools collect everything they need to match students with meaningful, safe and well-structured shadowing experiences.

Built specifically for high school alumni coordinators and career services teams, this template captures professional details, day-to-day schedules, age-appropriate activities, liability coverage and clear learning objectives all in one streamlined form. Instead of chasing down details over email or piecing together spreadsheets, you get a complete picture of each alumni volunteer and their workplace in a single submission.

Why Paperform for Alumni Engagement Programs

Paperform is trusted by schools, universities and alumni associations worldwide to handle everything from event registration to volunteer coordination. This template takes advantage of Paperform's conditional logic to show or hide fields based on profession type, workplace environment and student age ranges—making the form feel personal and relevant to each alumni host.

Once submissions come in, you can use Stepper (stepper.io) to automate the next steps: send confirmation emails, route approvals to administrators, update your alumni CRM or Airtable, and trigger background check workflows if required. Everything stays connected, so your team can focus on building relationships instead of managing paperwork.

Built for Professional, Secure Alumni Operations

This form includes liability acknowledgment, emergency contact collection and workplace safety details—essentials for any student placement program. You can embed it on your alumni portal, share it in newsletters, or link it directly from social media campaigns. With Paperform's brand customization, the form matches your school colors and identity, reinforcing trust and professionalism at every step.

Whether you're running a small pilot program or coordinating hundreds of alumni volunteers, this template gives you the structure, flexibility and automation you need to scale career shadowing with confidence.
