Kentucky Educational Television (KET) recently launched FastForward,an online educational service that provides on-demand access to life long learning videos on GED and pre-GED preparation, workplace and life skills. KET is offering the service for free and with instant access to Kentucky residents.

The “GED Connection” series helps people prepare for all five subjects on the GED exam, with special attention to the calculator used on the exam, the essay, special answer formats and tips for the test day. Teachers and experts in each field not only cover the skills needed for the tests, but also explain how the skills are important in everyday life and work. The “Pre-GED”series covers the reading, writing, math, science and social studies skills.

In addition, FastForward provides KET’s “Workplace Essential Skills” series, which helps job seekers find and retain employment; and the program “TV411,” which covers important life skills, such as lessons on parenting, money matters and health. TV411 features actors, writers, sport figures and every day people providing insight on making one’s life easier and more successful.

“These programs provide practical and important information that has already benefited more than one million people worldwide,” said Nancy Carpenter, KET director of education.
