New from Career Development and Forage
Now Tech students can engage in real life simulated job assignments! These simulations can be used to sharpen existing and even add new skills. What is Forage?
Forage is a FREE online resource that offers virtual day-in-the-life experience programs designed by leading companies. 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 leading companies, 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
