https://edu.gcfglobal.org/en/ Along with the core tutorials, there are additional resources available for career support, featuring: career planning and salary, job search and networking, resume writing, money, interviewing skills, and job success. Some of the most popular tutorials in other areas cover Google Drive, iPad basics, Pinterest 101, blog basics, Chrome, and Publisher 2011. And if learning at a desk isn't your thing (or your patrons' thing) then there is also a suite of mobile apps covering the MS Office suite, vocabulary, and math.

The Goodwill Community Foundation isn't a library, but is still pretty neat in its own right. One of the interesting programs they offer is called GCF LearnFree.org. This is a program that creates and provides quality online learning opportunities for anyone who wants to improve their technology, literacy, or math skills. Including more than 1,000 different lessons covering more than 90 topics, this is a great, free resource to help your patrons (or staff) learn new skills. This is a great tool for libraries to be aware of, either to help continue development among their own staff or to show to their patrons alongside other resources.
Every tutorial on GCFLearnFree includes text, information graphics, interactives, and videos; all in an effort to provide a variety of different learning styles. Some of the subjects taught include computer basis, internet 101, internet safety, MS Office, Facebook, email basic, and more. In addition to video tutorials, the site offers instructor-supported, online class programs in Microsoft Office that allow students to receive CEUs and certificates of completion (still all for free...)
...Drexel University, The Community College of Philadelphia, Camden County College, Rutgers University and Ocean County College, where students can earn up to 30 college credits.
Helms Academy was established by the nonprofit three years ago in Stratford, according to Goodwill President and CEO Mark B. Boyd
