As part of the South Carolina State Library's Business & Workforce Development Initiative, DISCUS is pleased to announce two additions to its lineup of resources: LearningExpress Library and Ferguson's Career Guidance Center. LearningExpress Library is an interactive tool that provides practice tests and tutorials designed for both students and adult learners to succeed on academic and licensing exams. Feedback includes immediate scoring, complete answer explanations, and individualized analysis of the user's results. Ferguson’s Career Guidance Center is a career research database that includes overview articles and video on nearly 3,400 jobs and 94 industries, broken down into 16 Career Clusters created by the U.S. Department of Education. The product also includes searchable entries on scholarships, internships, and more. These two complementary resources have been licensed for statewide use to help meet the needs of South Carolina citizens during these difficult economic times. Ask a staff member for assistance!
