Have you ever wanted to learn what a specific job actually entails? Do you want to gain hands-on experience in different roles, sectors, and companies? Then, welcome to CareerEdge’s newest roster member: Forage!
Forage is an online resource that offers virtual job simulations designed by significant companies to help you understand different roles and sectors through self-paced exercises. These exercises are based on tasks you usually would take on during a traditional internship in your selected role. These simulations take around 5 or 6 hours and are self-paced, so you could efficiently finish a simulation in a school week.
Some perks the programs offer include but are not limited to:
- Video instructions and resources created by employees within your selected company or organization
- Work that reflects actual day-to-day tasks of interns and graduates in the field/company
- The chance to compare your work with that of a graduate at your chosen organization
There are many benefits to using Forage, the biggest selling point being that you can sample the internship-level workload at leading companies. It also allows you to discover different career paths you might not have considered before trying them out in a simulation setting. Of course, you can also build confidence and new skill sets!
