Digital Loop celebrates Student Edge joining forces with Year13 — strengthening youth engagement and opportunity across Australia
Digital Loop, the Western Australian representative for Student Edge has announced a major milestone: Student Edge has officially joined forces with Year13, creating a powerhouse platform for youth engagement, career development, and educational support in Australia.
For over 20 years, Student Edge has been a trusted voice for young Australians, empowering over one million members with resources across career readiness, financial literacy, rewards, and youth insights. This merger brings Student Edge into the Year13 family, aligning two purpose-driven organisations under a shared mission — to support young people from the classroom to their career.
Year13, Australia’s largest tech platform for school leavers, currently reaches over two million students and delivers innovative solutions across education, employment, and workforce development. This partnership amplifies both platforms’ impact by combining their strengths, data, and services.
For students, this alliance means increased access to resources, rewards, and meaningful pathways to success. For partners, it brings expanded research capabilities, deeper audience insights, and a broader national and international footprint to reach engaged youth.
Damien Langley, Co-Founder of Student Edge, said: “After two decades of building Student Edge from the ground up, this is a natural next step. Together, we can scale our impact, enhance our offerings, and deliver even more value to young people and the organisations that support them.”
Both platforms will retain their unique strengths, while benefiting from the shared infrastructure and vision of a unified ecosystem. This union ensures faster innovation, stronger support for students, and an unmatched opportunity for partners to connect with youth authentically and effectively.
Digital Loop, who represents both Student Edge and Year13 sees this merger as a game-changer for brands, government agencies, and education providers aiming to meaningfully connect with Gen Z.
