Forage
Explore Careers and Build In-Demand Skills with Forage
Forage is a free online platform offering virtual job simulations designed by top companies to help students explore career paths and build practical skills. Whether you’re curious about consulting, marketing, law, finance, engineering, or a range of other industries, Forage gives you the chance to “test drive” real-world roles through interactive experiences created by employers like JPMorgan Chase, BCG, Lululemon, Accenture, and Electronic Arts.
Each simulation walks you through the types of tasks you’d encounter in an actual entry-level role—no application, prior experience, or cost required. Most programs take 5–6 hours to complete, and shorter options (called “Shorts”) are available for quick insights in 15 minutes or less. Along the way, you’ll get guidance from employer-provided resources and sample answers that help you learn as you go. After completing a program, you’ll earn a personalized certificate you can showcase on your résumé or LinkedIn under the “Licenses & Certifications” section.
Forage is especially valuable for students who are still exploring options or want to feel more confident when applying for jobs and internships. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of different career fields, sharpen the kinds of skills employers are actually looking for, and stand out in interviews by speaking from experience.
International students also benefit from the opportunity to learn about U.S. workplace expectations without needing a visa or job authorization.
Educators can integrate Forage simulations into the classroom, giving students exposure to industry challenges and real-world scenarios while tracking participation and outcomes. Meanwhile, employers use Forage to connect with a more diverse, prepared talent pool and identify candidates who have already shown interest and initiative.
Whether you’re still deciding on your major, looking for ways to boost your résumé, or exploring how your interests align with different careers, Forage is a flexible, low-pressure way to take the next step forward.
