Employee Development, Growth, and Education (EDGE)
EDGE is the Department’s new online learning system where all Department training is stored and shared in one easy to find place, including the new DSP University. The name “EDGE” stands for employee development, growth, and education.  EDGE helps learners take classes, complete assigned courses, and keep track of their trainings. As the system grows, EDGE will continue to serve as a central resource for regional centers, Department staff, Direct Support Professionals (DSPs), and community members.
