GALE, CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY PARTNER

摘要

The California State Library and Gale, a part of Cengage Learning, have announced a statewide pilot program to offer accredited high school diplomas and career certificates at libraries across California. The program is funded by Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr. and is aimed at helping as many Californians as possible earn a high school diploma online. Currently, more than 4.5 million California adults age 25 and over lack a high-school diploma. The program, Career Online High School, has already seen success at several libraries throughout the state, including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego, and the County of Los Angeles. Collectively, these libraries have enrolled nearly 250 students and graduated more than 30 students. Many of these libraries will provide mentoring support to other libraries in California that offer Career Online High School.
