  • Boost your CV

  • Experience what work is like at innovative and influential companies
  • All programmes are free of charge for UoS students

How can you take part?

Getting started is really simple. It takes about 30 seconds to complete the registration process and from there you can enrol into any of the virtual experience programmes on offer. If you have further questions, please check out the Forage website prior to registering.
