Virtual Work Experience

Virtual work experience can be a fantastic opportunity to develop your skills and experience.  As well as providing insight into job roles and organisations it can also give you access to some of the biggest global employers for future job roles.

Forage- Remote work experiences

We have partnered with Forage to offer students a huge range of virtual work experience opportunities with some of the top global employers.  There are around 100 virtual experiences to choose from- there is no cost, and you can complete as many as you like.  Each program is around a 5-8 hour time commitment. 

How does it work?

  1. Recruiters from global organisations create virtual experience programs to train and look for the best candidates to hire.
  2. Sign up with your University email address and complete any program at your own pace to gain real world work experience.
  3. If you apply for a job after completing a program, Forage data shows your chances of being hired are now 2- 5 times higher!
