“As a homeschool mom, I’ve appreciated how Edge Factor has helped my high schooler explore different careers. The videos are engaging and show real people using real skills on the job, which sparked some great conversations at home. It’s helped make career learning more personal and practical.

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.

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.

We’ve been using Edge Factor to learn about different skilled trades, and it’s been a great way to start thinking ahead to high school. The videos are easy to understand and show what people do in their jobs, which helped my son to see how school connects to real careers. It’s sparked interest in hands-on paths we hadn’t considered before. It’s been a simple but meaningful way to explore options together.
