North Haven, CT –
ForgeNow, an accelerated, full-time vocational school located in Dallas, TX and Career Team, LLC, a nationally recognized workforce development software provider, have partnered to modernize ForgeNow’s approach to career services and employer engagement. Through this partnership, ForgeNow students have access to robust professional development resources that include on-demand learning modules and tools that produce the tangible resources students need to secure employment upon program completion.
“ForgeNow has tried many other platforms to assist with job placement, and many employer partners have asked we include customer-based soft-skills training in our curriculum. EDGE gives us the best of both worlds: the ability to connect our graduates with employers looking to hire and provide soft-skills training those employers requested. Within days of launch, ForgeNow had students on the platform, creating resumes our Placement Team could easily edit and had multiple employers join the platform and connect with our students.” Stephen Brightman, Director of Operations “We are excited to support ForgeNow’s mission to provide accelerated workforce relevant programs that allow students a fast track to living wage employment.” said Micaela Pearson, Chief Business Officer, Career Team. “In addition to ensuring graduates possess essential employability skills, we have also developed an employer engagement platform that allows hiring managers on-demand access to prospective talent and career services staff.”
ForgeNow and Career Team look forward to continued collaboration in their joint effort of ensuring long-term career success of the students we serve.
