The multimedia content created by Edge Factor, including local stories that feature Indigenous individuals and women in trades, has been invaluable. This content highlights real-life success stories of graduates and professionals in skilled trades, fostering greater interest and engagement among our students.

This platform has become an essential resource for our educators and students, allowing them to explore and share content in classrooms, at events, and in their homes. We particularly value the tools Edge Factor has created to promote the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program (OYAP), Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM), and careers in the skilled trades.

By combining hands-on learning, industry insights, and a robust curriculum, we’re sparking curiosity, building confidence, and equipping students with the knowledge needed to pursue careers that align with their passions. Students aren’t just learning about careers—they’re experiencing them in a way that brings their future into focus.

These videos have been a fantastic resource in providing students with a realistic understanding of the skilled trades and the competencies required to succeed in these fields.

Watching Edge Factor's films changed my life. They opened my eyes to how manufacturing is impacting the world. Edge Factor's state-of-the-art media is at the heart of my program and I've seen it inspire and engage countless students.

We're using Edge Factor in our counselors' offices… The value of Edge Factor for students in Calcasieu Parish, and the CTE department, is extremely valuable. We have to have it!

I learned a lot about careers in the skilled trades and about multiple in-demand careers. I also learned about soft skills and their importance in every workplace.

“I learned a lot about how to get into a career you want and how to pick that career, I learned good information about the skills I need and I feel inspired for my future career.

Through our partnership with Edge Factor, we’ve created inspiring content that helps students and job-seekers explore careers and build in-demand skills. Together, we’re helping people unlock their potential and imagine brighter futures.

Skills Ontario is proud to stand beside Edge Factor as Premium Partners. Our teams have worked closely together on sustainable projects that live on and on, continuing to inspire audiences to get involved and launch training and career pathways into the trades, and we have experienced success after success.

Edge Factor is an exciting initiative that will provide our residents with access to explore and connect to essential training and career opportunities in skilled trades.

Edge Factor completely changes how our students think about completing their ECAPs! They love the real life storytelling approach and the interest assessments are so fun. The built-in ECAP reporting give us clear insights and it’s exciting to see them take charge of their career journey!

I really like this - this is going to make my life way easier to help students complete their ECAPs.

Every day my students ask, “are we doing Edge Factor today"?

There’s nothing else like Edge Factor – they’ve told so many powerful stories from right here in Arizona with companies that our students would never otherwise get to see. It’s my go-to resource for all things careers and skills… I don’t ever want to be without it!

I was born and raised in Arkansas—and there were so many companies I drove past every day without ever knowing what happened behind those doors. Now, I get the opportunity every week to meet the people working inside and share their stories.
