Financial Education
Career Transitions offers an online, self-paced program that teaches students how to take control of their money and their financial situation. This course is perfect for individuals that may not have the skills needed to be successful at managing their money. This course contains four units:
- Budgets: Being able to follow a budget is critical to money management. In this unit, students will build their own personal budget and learn how to stay on budget when temptations come along. Students will learn by watching others meet the same challenges they may be facing in their own lives.
- Loans: Loans are important ways to get what we want when we want it. This unit will teach students about car loans, home loans, student loans, and how payday loan scams can destroy their credit score. Students will learn about predatory loan practices and smart money management tips.
- Financial Goals: Setting realistic financial goals will help people get what they need in life. Creating goals can seem unattainable when students are barely making ends meet. This unit will teach students how to set short and long term financial goals, no matter what their financial situation may currently be. It will also teach them simple budgeting tips to be in control of their money.
- Credit: Getting and using credit wisely is critical to building a secure future. This unit will teach students how to make good decisions about obtaining credit and how to avoid credit card fraud. Students will also learn how credit card scams can damage their credit standing.
Through this course, Career Transitions strives to equip individuals with the tools and resources they need to make informed financial decisions.
