With content spanning from Adult Basic Education to higher education, CorrectionalEd serves learners of all levels.
Higher Ed & Research Support
The CorrectionalEd platform offers flagship reference databases from EBSCO and other leading providers, creating a comprehensive academic library comparable to those found in colleges and universities across the United States. The content includes thousands of peer-reviewed academic and business journals, magazines, reports, news sources, and dissertations – many of which are exclusive to EBSCO (that’s right, you won’t find much of our content on any other platform). Our exclusive content is updated daily, ensuring users have access to the latest information with promotes greater comprehension and context for today’s students.
Test Prep & Workforce Preparedness
Preparing for life beyond incarceration is crucial for reducing recidivism, and CorrectionalEd provides test preparation and career training content that empowers learners to take the next step.

Workforce readiness resources – like comprehensive Learning & Employment Records (LERs) powered by EBSCOed – prepares learners and soon-to-be jobseekers for a wide range of careers based on their skills and credentials upon release and empowers them to be confident in their ability to create a brighter future. These skills are earned through structured learning pathways that help users develop crucial skills for successful re-entry, including:
Resume preparation
Interview techniques
Financial literacy
AI and social media skills
A Secure, Managed Solution
CorrectionalEd is managed by EBSCO on a secure, Amazon Web Services (AWS)-supported platform that updates regularly without disruption. There is no need for local software installation, ensuring ease of access and maintenance. Along with a dedicated content approval feature, our dynamic customization options and a single sign-on tool for added security, CorrectionalEd stands out as the premier choice for academic and workforce training content in correctional settings.
Learning & Employment Records (LERs)
One unique benefit of CorrectionalEd is the access that users have to their own digital Learning and Employment Record (LER). CorrectionalEd integrates with the EBSCOed-powered platform, LER.me, a free comprehensive Learning & Employment Record platform. LER.me users can activate their skills for job matching, validate their credentials, and even self-attest their achievements. This platform has the capability to integrate with job boards, helping individuals find meaningful employment and opportunities upon release. The LER is more dynamic than a traditional resume, and it grows with the user through their education and employment journeys, translating their skills into opportunities.
