WIN Learning

WIN Learning is an organization that supports statewide career-ready initiatives through online learning solutions designed to promote academic, soft, and digital skills in adults across the nation. Established in 1996, WIN has supplied more than 10 million learners with the tools, confidence, and skills needed to succeed in life. Courseware is provided at no cost and is free to use outside of the library.

WIN Learning was designed for adults who are seeking online, self-paced learning resources designed to promote professional skill development. Participants who wish to learn at Paul Sawyier Public Library must be Kentucky residents. Please be aware that final assessments are proctored and must be completed in person at the Paul Sawyier Public Library.

WIN Learning offers credentials in the following areas: Digital Literacy, Career Readiness, and Essential Skills. These include: Computer Operations, Internet Browsing, Digital Communications, Digital Documents, Digital Security, Work Ready Math, Work Ready Reading, Work Ready Data, Communicating Effectively, Conveying Professionalism, Promoting Teamwork and Collaboration, Thinking Critically, and Solving Problems.

Each course is composed of 3–4 learning modules. Each module has a pre-test, courseware, and post-test sections. Upon completing the courseware and passing the posttest for a module, you will receive an e-badge. After obtaining e-badges for every module, you will earn a certificate of completion for that course. Once a certificate of completion is earned, you are eligible for the final, proctored assessment to earn the credential badge and certificate for that course. To access your e-badges, certificates, and credentials, select the following link and enter your email address. You will receive a series of emails containing links to each of your awarded badges and certificates.
