I’ve always been passionate about a career in the business industry. However, as a college
student, I’ve always struggled to find opportunities to gain practical experience.This all
changed when I stumbled upon Forage, the virtual internship platform that helps students
like ME find the experience and skills we need to succeed in our careers. Through Forage,
I explored VARIETY of virtual internships in different areas of business, from marketing to
finance to entrepreneurship.
HOLLUP!
It's not just for business students. It has many more courses in engineering, tech, law,
finance, consulting and MANY more programs. However, the business program provided me
with valuable experience and allowed me to work on real-world projects and tasks, building
my skills and knowledge along the way.
How is it helpful and lifesaving for students?
1. It provides valuable experience by offering several virtual internships in EVERY
field. Students gain practical experience in their chosen fields. This helps them build their
skills and knowledge, which may be invaluable when applying for jobs after graduation.
2. It offers flexible opportunities for students all over the world. It's not for US or
UK students. Students all over the world can apply for it for FREE and have a
flexible schedule. This can be an ideal option for students who may not have the time or
resources to participate in traditional internship programs.
3.It helps students differentiate themselves from other job candidates and increase their
chances of hiring after graduation
4. It helps student provides networking opportunities by connecting with their professors
through the program, this may lead to future job opportunities.
