What is Forage?:
Forage is a FREE online resource that offers virtual day-in-the-life experience programs designed by leading companies like J.P. Morgan, Lululemon, and PepsiCo. Develop your skills and gain a better understanding of different roles and sectors by working through these self-paced modules that utilize tasks similar to those you would undertake during a traditional internship.

During the program, you will work through a set of materials and tasks set by employers, which are designed to replicate the sort of work that you would undertake while working for that company. All Forage programs are self-paced (taking between 2 to 4 hours to complete) ensuring ultimate flexibility.

These programs include:
• Video instructions and materials created by employees within your chosen
organization/field
• Work that reflects real day-to-day tasks of interns and graduates

Did you know?:
Forage users that complete a virtual simulation are 3x more likely to land a job!

Benefits:
• No cost – FREE
• Self-paced, no deadlines, and can be completed anywhere in the world
• Allows you to see inside jobs and explore different roles and fields
• Experience to help build your resume and gain a hiring advantage
• Get seen by recruiters at top companies and grow your networks
• Zero barriers to entry – no applications, no educational thresholds, no
interviews
