Partnership: GE Canada and Actua
GE is a true partner. Its tagline, Innovation at Work, influenced the tagline of our partnership which is "Innovation at Play". The involvement of GE employees has added significant value to our programs, and has directly influenced the culture of our operations. GE has inspired and enabled Actua to think BIG. The impact has been huge, and is reflected in the one million youth Actua has reached as a direct result of the partnership so far.
