Our take
Torch is an integrated platform for professional learning and development, making it possible for business leaders to understand and measure employee skills. The system provides an active community, which delivers top-tier coaching, backed up by algorithmic technology.
The flexible platform makes it possible for personalized paths to be embedded in the employee learning journey. This can then be tracked via a centralized dashboard, which provides an array of tools that help both companies and workers to better understand and manage their learning and development goals.
In 2020, Torch merged with Everwise, a marketplace with thousands of mentors across different job levels and roles, allowing the business to be built into a full-stack career coach for every level of employee. With substantial funding at its back, and increasing interest in coaching as a way to retain employees, Torch's unique position in the market makes it well-set for future success.
