Edge Factor is proud to announce our new smart platform is now live and available for you to log in and discover new features!
Perfectly in time for the new school year, Edge Factor launched version 8.0 of our platform, a ground-up build that uses the latest in technology to deliver personalized experiences for every user. Our new smart platform will empower our team to further our mission to inspire learners of all ages to explore, prepare and connect on their career journey.
One of the rules we live by at Edge Factor is to LISTEN, LEARN, DO/REDO. Embracing failure to find solutions is at the heart of our innovation. We constantly break new ground, analyze metrics, and adjust our sails to get results. This new smart platform is a result of listening to our customers and partners. With the new features and upgrades to the platform we meet learners where they are at and move them forward on their career journey.
Edge Factor’s K-Gray strategy means our creative teams, e-learning coordinators, and storytellers are working together to build media and digital tools for every age group, from Kindergarten through to retirement. We are filming and publishing more content and building new features, faster than ever.
The new platform includes the fan favourites such Virtual Workplace Experiences, Career Profile videos, Edge Factor Show and many others. We are also releasing all new career media, such as Tunes of the Trade and new media created with community influencer and Industry Spokesperson, Drew Crowe.
For over a decade, Edge Factor has been working with communities across North America to inspire the next workforce. We work closely with educators, community and business leaders to connect students, parents, and job seekers with companies, schools, careers and training programs available in their community.
