Gain Real-World Experience from Anywhere

At AIES, we know that flexibility matters in today’s fast-paced world. That’s why we’ve partnered with The Forage, a leading global platform for virtual job simulations, to give students access to real-world career experiences.

Through these simulations, you can develop practical, job-ready skills, explore career paths, and gain hands-on experience—while building a strong foundation for future job opportunities.

  • Experience realistic tasks based on actual company work
  • Explore career pathways before applying for jobs
