Testing & Education Reference Center provides online test prep, college readiness and career development for students and job seekers

City, State, Month, Day, Year – [NAME OF TOWN] residents now have access to Testing & Education Reference Center (TERC), a valuable online tool, from Gale, a Cengage company, that learners can use for standardized test preparation, researching undergraduate and graduate programs, finding tuition assistance and exploring careers. Library patrons can even pursue new career paths with test prep assistance for career certification exams and gain advice on resumes, cover letters, interviewing and networking.

“TERC helps users embark on new education and career paths with in-depth information on higher education programs, distance learning, corporate training, available scholarships and more,” said [NAME OF LIBRARY DIRECTOR]. “It is a valuable tool in supporting the education and workforce development needs of the community.”

TERC helps guide learners with:

·  Career development: The Resume Builder and Virtual Careers Library tools assist students in building essential career skills—like how to build a resume, cover letter and interviewing tips for users at all career stages. Using the Career Module, tests help users map interests and aptitudes to the most suitable job categories, industries, and occupations.
