Montgomery County Public Libraries is offering qualified community members the opportunity to earn an accredited high school diploma and a credentialed career certificate through Career Online High School, a program brought to public libraries by Gale, a part of Cengage Learning.
Career Online High School is designed to re-engage adults into the education system and prepare them for entry into post-secondary career education or the workforce. Currently, more than 60,000 adults over the age of 25 in Montgomery County lack a high school degree or equivalent.
Once enrolled, Career Online High School pairs each student with an academic coach, who assists with developing an individual career plan, offers ongoing guidance and encouragement, evaluates performance and connects the learner with the resources needed to demonstrate mastery of the course material.
More information about Career Online High School is available at www.montgomerycountymd.gov/library, by calling Adrienne Van Lare at 240-777-0036 or email at mcpl-cohs@montgomerycountydmd.gov.
