Forage Virtual Work Experiences
Get Real World Experience Through an Internship
Virtual work experiences from leading companies including Accenture, Citi, General Electric, JPMorgan Chase, Lululemon and many more allow you a bite-sized opportunity to try out different types of jobs.
Develop your skills and gain a real understanding of roles and industries by working through self-paced modules with tasks just like an internship or entry-level position. This is an opportunity to experience a day in the life of an employee at a Fortune 500 company!
How It Works
You select from any number of free programs based on the industry, company or type of work you want to try on.
During the program, work through tasks set by the company. These are not graded assignments; they are simulated experiences that replicate work you would undertake as an intern or entry-level employee. Programs take between five to six hours to complete and are self-paced, allowing you to finish as you want. You can even revise and edit submitted work to show growth on a topic or task.
Programs Include
- Sample what work is like at leading companies
- Discover career paths that you may not have previously considered
- Build confidence and gain skills to get you ready for work
- Earn a certificate of completion and stand out to these employers

Describe Your Experience on Resumes and LinkedIn
One of the benefits of completing these programs is adding each experience to your resume and LinkedIn profile. Follow these directions for listing your virtual experience:
- Include your virtual experience in a section titled "Activities," "Certifications," "Achievements" or something similar. Since this was a virtual work experience, not an internship or job, it does not fit under work or relevant experience.
- You should not list the name of the company alone. That may give the impression you worked directly for the company. Instead use this format:
Activities
[Company Name] Virtual Experience Program Participant
[Year of Completion] – [Approximate hours]
- Participated in the open access [Company Name] Virtual Experience Program with Forage. Tasks included…
Add your experience to the "Licenses and Certifications" section of your profile.
