This might be the best thing I've seen all year. Forage offers virtual experience programs designed in partnership with major employers that include tasks and projects. These are basically free certificate programs, but you can opt to have Forage share your submitted work with partner companies. They claim that completing a virtual experience with a company will increase your chance of getting hired by two to five times. They also claim that 33% of hires at these companies come from Forage.
There are strict guidelines on how one should list the programs on one's CV/resume and social media. These are not to be listed as employment or work experience. They are to be included in the certification, achievement, or extracurricular activities section of your resume or the certification part of LinkedIn.

This is pretty awesome. My interest is piqued.
I wish there was a better way to include these on resumes/LinkedIn. I get why they shouldn't be presented as traditional work experience, but "extracurricular" or certification seems odd, too.

Which one is the marketing one? I didn't find a marketing one.
