      After you create your 'School Profile', you can add 'Program Profiles' to showcase the specific programs your school offers. This article shows you how.

      Before you can upload your school's programs to the Edge Factor platform, you must create your School Profile. Once your school profile is complete, you will be able to create Program Profiles.
