Kentucky Virtual Library now offering enhanced college and career test preparation resources

May 06, 2026

The Kentucky Virtual Library (KYVL), a unit of the Council on Postsecondary Education (CPE), has expanded its contract with EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO) to provide statewide access to LearningExpress Library Complete and FinancialFit. These platforms, available at schools and libraries throughout the Commonwealth, provide Kentucky residents with enhanced resources to help them prepare for standardized college and graduate admissions exams (e.g., ACT®, SAT®, GRE®), strengthen financial literacy, and assist with job searches and career exploration.

“These resources align closely with Kentucky’s goals for postsecondary enrollment and completion, workforce success, and financial education,” said Ilona Burdette, KYVL Executive Director. “They can help Kentuckians thrive in their careers, communities, and personal lives.”

CPE, for instance, is working with public colleges and universities to implement the Kentucky Graduate Profile, which emphasizes 10 Essential Skills every graduate needs to achieve career success. College students and instructors can use LearningExpress modules to reinforce skills such as critical thinking, communication, and quantitative reasoning and build knowledge in core subjects. Workplace skills and knowledge, including software training, career exams preparation, working in team settings, and more can be found in the LearningExpress Library.

FinancialFit complements Kentucky’s recently passed legislation, HB 342, requiring ninth-graders to complete a financial literacy course in order to graduate. With its scenario-based lessons, engaging videos, and built-in quizzes, FinancialFit is a valuable resource for teachers and students alike. Individuals interested in accessing these resources can visit participating schools or public libraries. For more information, email the Kentucky Virtual Library at kyvl@ky.gov.
