“Now, more than ever, we depend on Inc. 500|5000 companies to spur innovation, provide jobs, and drive the economy forward,” stated Jane Berentson, Editor of Inc. Magazine. “Growth companies, not large corporations, are where the action is.”

“The demand for experiential learning is greater than ever. Research shows that learning by doing is the most engaging way to learn; it is also one of the most effective,” commented Cameron D. Crowe, Executive Vice President at Toolwire. “Our clients, which include several of the largest Higher Education institutions and leading software companies in the world, recognize the clear value proposition of our cloud-based learning solutions. Toolwire’s growth has been driven by the demand for our cutting-edge digital media simulations, which enable organizations to deliver virtual apprenticeships that allow students to practice critical thinking, problem solving, and creative thinking skills in contextual, ‘day-in-the-life’ scenarios. In the coming year, we expect our rapid growth to continue as we introduce enhanced adaptive learning capabilities and a variety of features associated with gaming.”
