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.

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.

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!

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!

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.
