Hello Product Hunt and thanks for Michael Seibel for Hunting us! We started Forage a few years as we just saw the whole process of going to college, figuring out what career you want, and then ultimately landing a job was just broken. So many students out there right now are going through college and are studying things that aren't going to help them be useful in the job, as well as aren't going to help them get hired. So enter Forage! Forage is a website that hosts these job simulations & virtual work experiences that teach you the actual things professionals in law, software engineering, accounting, consulting and more - do day to day. These job simulations are like online courses, with 5-6 hours of content each - and show the nitty gritty of work: getting briefed by a manager, updating templates documents, and then submitting work! ALL our job simulations are FREE as well. We started this company to make more equitable the processes of learning and getting hired. We make money by charging our partner companies, as we help them reach more diverse and previously unseen students! Think of Forage as Skillshare - but for learning real skills used at real companies, taught by the companies you want to work for! How Forage works - Jump onto Forage and browse the online courses & job simulations we have there - Find one by a company you'd want to explore a career at (Boston Consulting Group? General Electric? Deloitte? Accenture? EA Games? JP Morgan?) - Join the program - it's FREE (we make money by hosting this platform for our partner companies) - Try out a task or two in the program - If you don't like the job - that's okay! Jump into another program and see what it's like in another industry - If you like the work - complete the program and get a certificate! Some programs prioritize applicants who complete Forage in their job process Why do it? - Our partner companies have found Forage students are 2 to 5 times more likely to land a job than an average applicant - People who put Forage programs on their resume are more likely to get past the ATS stages of job application and get an interview - You actually learn PRACTICAL skills you do day to day at the job - Apply theory to the real world - Figure out what you DON'T want to do for a career in a fast and safe environment - There's no downside to doing a program - we don't blacklist people; and if you want you can opt-out of employers seeing your registration! We've had so many success stories of students with Forage. Students from non-target schools have landed jobs at top employers. Students from under-represented backgrounds getting a foot in the door with some of the most closed-off corporates. Students landing jobs in leading banks in other countries!

I have completed a few courses on Forage and found this product to be extremely compelling and convincing. This app does simulation a service by showcasing admirable courses, one that resonates strongly today.

This looks great mate, I wish this existed when I was in uni!

@veebuv Forage ended up where it is because we thought ‘what do we wish existed when we were at uni!’ Haha

Forage is a great product. I got to experience for the first time what it's like to work in Consulting via Accenture's Discovery Program on Forage last year. The Covid_19 lockdown had just commenced in Nigeria and it was really difficult time for everyone but Forage kept me productive. It's my last semester for my Business Mgt. Undergrad program and weeks ago I landed an internship interview with Microsoft and I think highlighting my Accenture Discovery Program experience on Forage helped me get that opportunity. Forage is doing an amazing work!

I had a great experience with Forage. I picked up a lot of skills for free, at a time when I couldn't land a single internship. Forage helped me get a hold of basic concepts, in addition to giving me insight into diverse job roles and increasing my exposure beyond the tech industry. This made me more confident and provided me the much needed clarity to apply for job roles.
