How it works:
- Students are hired for an 80-hour experiential learning placement with a Forge startup.
- Experience Ventures opportunities are structured and short-term experiences that complement the student’s academic study area and fit within their busy schedule.
- Forge startups hire students in areas where support is needed most and the founders mentor the student as they work on their project.
- Project areas of focus include marketing, sales, business development, engineering (software/hardware), market research, web design, graphic design, etc
