Computer Skills/Workforce Dev. Skills in MeL
by Biggs, Deb Renee (MDE) 15 Sep '15

15 Sep '15

Hi Again-I've had couple of follow-up questions as to what might be available in MeL for computer skills/workforce development skills since the Computer Skills Center will no longer be part of LearningExpress Library in MeL starting October 1, 2015. This is basically what we've got going in these 2 areas; what you will see are freely available websites chosen by our MeL selector(s): So, what we have available is in MeL's Job's Gateway, http://mel.org/jobs and in particular on the "Tutorials" page, http://mel.org/index.php?P=MeLGateways&ParentId=1006 within the Jobs Gateway--minus the Computer Skills Center which you currently see there as we are not yet to 10/1. There are other freely available websites on the "Workforce Development" page, http://mel.org/index.php?P=MeLGateways&ParentId=1011 Also, Pure Michigan Talent Connect, http://mitalent.org has much of what JCA has and it's available to all Michigan residents at no cost. Kind regards, Deb Deb Biggs Thomas, MA AMLS Michigan eLibrary & Outreach Coordinator Library of Michigan/Michigan Dept. of Education 702 W.
