Edge Factor’s production team went behind closed doors to film [*Virtual Workplace Experiences*](https://youtu.be/TES7YMpm36c?si=o84II9gy8sNh7Xfd). These virtual tours showcase companies and careers and help students learn more about the tools, equipment, skills and processes involved. The accompanying lesson plans provide educators with additional resources to help a student continue their career exploration within a specific industry sector.   Building off the success of this series, Edge Factor is now making freely available, the all new, Made In Ontario series, featuring some of the incredible companies, stories and careers that were featured in the Virtual Workplace Experiences.  We partnered with [Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters](https://cme-mec.ca/home-departments/) so you can discover and Support Ontario Made products, services, manufacturing and skilled trades careers as you navigate through the Edge Factor career journey. The [Ontario Made](https://supportontariomade.ca/) website is powered by [Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters (CME)](https://cme-mec.ca/home-departments/), which brings together manufacturers, retailers, and consumers to celebrate all the great things [Made in](https://edgefactor.com/made-in) Ontario.    Inspiration, Exploration, Preparation & Connection (IEPC) are the 4 stages in the Edge Factor career journey.     On our platform students and job-seekers find award- winning,  inspirational films featuring real life stories of individuals who have launched rewarding careers.
