Forage is a great way to get to know roles and companies. Employers who want to hire students like you post industry projects or job simulations as a way for applicants to learn more about what it’s like to do the work they offer, and these projects are even used as tools for hiring.
You can complete engineering-focused simulations that are projected to take you one to two hours or choose one that takes up to six hours in a huge variety of job functions.

Forage FAQs
Employers are never able to see the work students submit for any task or simulation! Employers are unable to access this information for primarily two reasons: To create a safe space for exploration for students and because employers aren’t using Forage as an assessment tool but rather to identify high-intent candidates.
Employers have access to a separate dashboard that alerts them whenever consenting students complete any of their simulations. Within their dashboard, they can see how many of their simulations that student has completed and can begin engaging/connecting with the student by sharing information about unique job-related activities (Internship opportunities, application dates, networking events). Again, the employer does not see the student’s actual work.
Students unlock an example answer after submitting their work within a simulation. This example answer is completed by an employee from whichever company’s simulation they’re working on. This example answer also gives the student a chance to compare their work with an employee’s to see what their strong points were, but also to identify if there’s any room for improvement – in a risk/assessment-free environment.
