This is a type of shadowing that aims to help you learn more about a specific task carried out by employees. Therefore, it involves you shadowing an employee only when carrying out specific activities. For instance, a prospective engineering employee who has just completed campus could go to a site, only when an important task is being carried out. Regular briefings allow you to get a better understanding of roles that are important to these industries. Unlike other types of shadowing, regular briefings require a lot of planning and timing to ensure that the host gets you at the right place and time to observe the specific task being carried out.
