Surge, a leading software development and consulting firm, today announced the completion of a new SaaS performance management software product for AspirePath, LLC. This new software product is designed for workforce development, training, and education organizations.

Surge provided full lifecycle software development services, including design, development, testing, deployment, and support. AspirePath was built on the Surge Platform, a framework and code library that simplifies the development of rich, responsive, web, mobile, and tablet applications using MVC, jQuery, JSON, HTML 5 and other technologies.

AspirePath innovations include a flexible skills framework and a drag-and-drop career Pathways Builder. The flexible framework for learning outcomes and competencies enables organizations to capture the occupation-specific skills that employers demand so adult learners are fully prepared to enter employment. With the Pathways Builder, AspirePath automatically tracks student progress along career and learning pathways using a clear, color-coded flow chart.

AspirePath is used to manage education and employment outcomes for high school or college youth, unemployed adults, employed adults seeking career changes or advancement, and incumbent workers requiring professional development.

“We were impressed by how quickly Surge was able to complete the project so we could release Version 1.0 this year”, said Keith Watson.

“We have some amazing synergy with the AspirePath team, ” said Matt MacKay, CEO of Surge. “Our client relationships and satisfaction are our #1 priority and we are pleased to have a long-term partnership with AspirePath.”
