What if you could look ahead and know, with confidence, that you and the people you love are financially protected and positioned to thrive? Saving, Investing, Insurance, and Retirement Planning gives you the tools to build that future, starting today.
If you've felt behind on saving, uncertain about investing, or anxious about retirement — this is your turning point. No background is required. Three self-paced courses cover the full arc of long-term financial security: how to build an emergency fund and choose the right savings vehicles; how stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, and real estate work together in a strong portfolio; how to protect your income and assets through health, disability, life, and property insurance; and how to plan for retirement and build an estate plan that reflects your wishes.
You'll apply concepts through real scenarios and assessments grounded in decisions that affect your financial life now and for decades ahead. Research links early intentional saving and investing with stronger retirement outcomes and greater lifetime wealth (CFPB).
Earn a career certificate that you can add to your LinkedIn profile, resume, or CV. Share it on social media and in your performance review. Tap into career resources to pursue roles in financial planning, investment advising, insurance, or wealth management. If you are ready to build skills that open new doors — professionally or personally — this is where you start.
Applied Learning Project
Learners will engage in four AI-guided Dialogues and four immersive Role Plays that apply saving, investing, insurance, and retirement concepts to high-stakes real-world decisions. In the Dialogues, learners explore the risk-return relationship and investment pyramid, decode stock ownership and wealth-building mechanisms, evaluate health insurance cost structures and plan types, and analyze personal auto insurance coverage. In the Role Plays, learners consult a Consumer Protection Specialist to identify and respond to a sophisticated financial fraud attempt, meet with a Real Estate Investment Advisor to evaluate direct ownership versus REITs, work with a Retirement Planning Specialist to build a personalized savings strategy, and engage an Estate Planning Attorney to understand wills, probate, and property transfer. Together, these activities build the confidence and practical skills to protect, grow, and transfer wealth across a lifetime.
