The term " to shadow "(跟随/跟著) means 'follow (closely like a shadow)'.
Example:
"Today is your first day on the job, you don't have to do anything, just shadowing John and watch how he works."
(今天是你工作的第一天，你不用做任何事情，只要跟著約翰, 看看他是如何工作便可以了.)
For a noun that describes 'someone who does the shadowing'
I suggest '見習生'
Example:
"you would be John's shadow today"
(你今天就當約翰的見習生吧)

見習 (v) to watch and learn
見習生(n) a person on job probation (watch and learn)
見習生 is a general term, It can be a student training in actual work place or a new employee starting a job on probation. Different companies have different training methods. Shadowing is one kind of 見習, which trainee can learn by observing, and not hamper the trainer's regular work routine.

@辛祐賦hsinyofu Did you mean that 見習生 could only refer to medical practitioners early in their career?– damonhCommented Mar 22, 2017 at 0:38

盯梢 is similar to shadow in the sense that it also signifies following someone secretly, otherwise the only one I have is 陪伴 which you can use with a trainer i.e. 教練陪伴著實習生, I don't know if you can get closer than that with a direct translation– ZukabergCommented Mar 15, 2017 at 21:59
你跟着她做。 Follow her, watch what she does.
