TechRise members now have access to virtual job simulations from the world’s most recognized employers.

Whether you’re a high schooler trying to figure out what you actually want to do, or a college student staring down graduation wondering if your resume is enough — this one’s for you.

TechRise members now have access to virtual job simulations from some of the world’s most recognized employers. Real tasks. Real companies. Real experience you can speak to before you ever land the first interview.

The Problem Nobody Talks About

Getting your first job is one of the most frustrating catch-22s young people face. Employers want experience. But you can’t get experience without someone giving you a chance first.

That cycle hits hardest for students from under-resourced communities — students who don’t have alumni networks, internship connections, or parents who can make a phone call. Students who are talented, motivated, and ready, but can’t get past the front door because the door was never designed with them in mind.

Virtual job simulations change that equation.

What a Job Simulation Actually Is

A job simulation drops you into a real role — analyst, software engineer, consultant, UX designer, cybersecurity specialist — and you complete the actual tasks someone in that position would work on day to day. Not a video. Not a multiple choice quiz. Real work, designed by the companies themselves.

When you finish, you walk away with a certificate you can add to your resume and LinkedIn profile immediately. Something concrete that shows you didn’t just read about the field — you did the work.

For High Schoolers

If you’re in high school and you’re not sure what you want to study or what career path fits you, job simulations are one of the best ways to figure it out before you’re locked into a major or a program. You can try software engineering one week and digital marketing the next. You can explore what a day in consulting actually looks like versus what you imagined it would look like.

This is career exploration with receipts.

And if you’re already building skills through CreativeTech — earning Google Career Certificates or Coursera credentials — job simulations are the bridge between your certification and your first real opportunity. You’re not just saying you know the skills. You’re proving it.

For College Students

If you’re in college, you already know the competition is real. Everyone applying for the same internships and entry-level roles has a degree. The students who stand out are the ones who can speak to actual experience — not just coursework.

Job simulations give you that edge. Completing a simulation designed by a company like JP Morgan Chase, BCG, or Electronic Arts means you can walk into any interview and speak specifically to the kind of work they do, the tools they use, and how you performed against their own standards.

That’s not a small thing. That’s the difference between getting the callback and getting ghosted.

Simulations Are Available Across Every Path We Support

TechRise members can explore simulations across the fields we believe in most:

Software Engineering  ·  Data Science  ·  Cybersecurity  ·  Consulting  ·  Banking & Financial Services  ·  Product & UX Design  ·  Digital Marketing  ·  Engineering & Operations  ·  And more

Whatever direction you’re heading, there’s a simulation that lets you test the waters before you commit.

The Job Is Out There. Let’s Make Sure You’re Ready.

The students who get hired aren’t always the most talented ones in the room. They’re the ones who showed up prepared — who could speak to real experience, demonstrate real skills, and walk in already knowing what the role requires.

TechRise exists to make sure that’s you.
