I've often thought there should generally be more work-shadowing. Not just from young people looking for a first job, but from all sorts of cross-professional and seniority groups. I think there would be a lot of benefit from seeing how some random other person does his job.

Another aspect is automation development. Particularly for people who are supposed to be writing tools for another profession, it's worthwhile spending time getting some notes like thing.
