Ontario Ministry of Education buys Bridges.com service


Mr. Doug Manning reports
The company disclosed that the Ontario Ministry of Education and Training has purchased Career Explorer, an online career guidance service, for the province's 750 publicly financed English secondary schools. Over 80 publicly funded French schools in Ontario will be included in the contract when a French language version of Career Explorer is launched. All the schools involved also receive CD-ROM copies of the Bridges.com materials.
The Ontario Ministry of Education and Training is purchasing a one-year subscription to the Career Explorer service for the 750 schools, and thereafter individual schools or boards can elect to continue annual subscriptions.
Ontario is the second province to negotiate large-scale subscriptions to the company's career planning service. Manitoba's provincial government purchased access for 300 of its schools in Feb. 1998.
The 750 schools will increase the company's Canadian subscriber base to 1,250 schools, or 30 per cent of Canada's secondary school market.
Approximately 180 schools in Ontario already subscribed to the service prior to the agreement. In addition to the 1,250 Canadian schools, 2,000 American schools are also Career Explorer service subscribers.
