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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
