[OPLINLIST] Learning Express Revisited

[Stephen Hedges]

Wow, it sounds like no one will ever see LearningExpress again!

Remember, it's here, and will stay here:
https://jobseeker.ohiomeansjobs.monster.com/Assessments/Home.aspx

What goes away after August 9 is this:
http://ohioweblibrary.org/db/lel
...and similar access points currently available through OhioLINK (which includes the State Library) and INFOhio.

Stephen Hedges has confirmed what I had feared, that we will lose the Assessment and Training component of Learning Express Hub as it appears on the Workforce Skills for the 21st Century and via The State Library of Ohio. 


In a time when the governor and legislature is pushing retraining and improving job skills, it just does not make sense to drop this database. Our rural community depends on access to these training tools to hone skills in everything from computer use  to studying for college prep tests to training for certification in a number of fields. 


When we provide computer training, we highlight these resources and folks are thrilled to learn about them. We will be hard-pressed to find resources as organized and as easily navigable as these are. 


If anyone has any insights to another resource (besides YouTube and googling for training materials), please let me know. I am very disappointed at the loss of this database.
