The acquisition will enable EAB to draw on its unique position serving thousands of colleges and hundreds of companies to help employers identify and hire qualified early-career talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur corporate partners have shared how challenging and time-consuming it is to hire interns and recent college graduates, especially students from historically underserved groups or campuses where companies lack a physical recruiting presence,\u201d said EAB Chief Executive Officer David Felsenthal. \u201cBy joining forces with Forage, we can connect employers to a robust pipeline of diverse students\u2014and provide the 10 million college students we work with better access to career opportunities and a deep understanding of what those options look like in the real world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students worldwide use Forage to experience what it is like to be an accountant, investment banker, software engineer, and more through free online courses designed by top companies such as Citibank, Goldman Sachs, KPMG, and Lululemon. Forage\u2019s interactive job simulations expose students to different career paths, build skills related to specific roles, and prepare students for interviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Forage\u2019s corporate customers benefit at every stage of the recruitment process, from building global brand awareness to improving recruitment funnel efficiency to filling hard-to-recruit early-career roles. Companies are more than twice as likely to hire students who take their simulations than those who do not, and nearly 20 percent of participating employers\u2019 early-talent hires are students who have used Forage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith EAB, Forage can connect employers with a vast network of future candidates at critical points throughout their college journeys,\u201d said Forage Co-founder and CEO Tom Brunskill. \u201cI am especially excited to embed Forage\u2019s virtual job simulations in Navigate360 and Starfish, EAB\u2019s student success technologies, which will connect millions of students from a wide variety of schools with the world\u2019s leading companies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Forage simulations are free and available on demand, which makes them accessible to students for whom a traditional internship is not possible. Nearly 40 percent of US students who use the Forage platform say they are the first in their families to attend college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Forage\u2019s job simulations will complement the other talent solutions in EAB\u2019s Seramount division, which helps companies build high-performing, inclusive workplaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The acquisition is expected to close in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-about-eab\">About EAB<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At EAB, our mission is to make education smarter and our communities stronger.
