Forage: Virtual Job Simulations
Forage provides free, self-paced virtual job simulations designed to give students exposure to career fields, industries, and the types of tasks professionals may encounter in the workplace. Simulations are developed in partnership with participating employers and can be completed online on a student's own schedule.
What Forage Offers
Through virtual job simulations, students can:
- Explore different career fields and industries
- Gain exposure to real-world workplace tasks and projects
- Practice and develop career-ready skills
- Learn more about employers and professional roles
- Build familiarity with industry terminology, tools, and expectations
- Develop experiences and examples that may support resume development and interview preparation
Forage can be especially useful for students who are exploring career options, preparing to pursue work-based learning, or looking for additional opportunities to practice professional skills.
Where Forage Fits
Forage simulations provide career exploration and skill-building opportunities, but they are not internships, co-ops or employment experiences. They can complement other forms of career development and help students prepare for future internships, co-ops, employment and other work-based learning opportunities.
