Forage Virtual Work Experience/Job Simulations
Forage offers virtual job simulations in a variety of career areas and with national and global companies. Virtual work experience programs replicate work at top companies and help you gain the skills to be successful when applying and working there, or other related companies. Learn the relevant tools necessary to complete a typical work day at that company. These virtual work experience programs are 100% free, open-access, and self-paced, with most of them taking approximately 3-6 hours. No experience or application is required! Forage virtual work experiences allow the participating companies to show you what working at their company is really like, and it enables them to reach amazing and diverse students they wouldn’t have been able to meet without going on-campus. They also add experiences to your resume. These experiences are open to all Adam State STEM students.
To access a virtual job simulation, visit:
