Announcing A New Course to Help You Build Real Financial Footing

Landing a good job in clean energy or construction is a big milestone. Managing that paycheck well enough to build real wealth is a separate skill, and it’s woefully undertaught.

We built The Foundations of Personal Finance course to help bring learners up to speed. It’s designed for anyone early in their financial life. That might mean you’re just starting your first full-time role, or it might mean this is the first time you’re really sitting down to think about money. No finance background required. We start with the basics, so anyone can jump in.

What You’ll Learn

The course walks through the fundamentals, so you can build one skill on top of the next:

• How to read your paycheck, including deductions, benefits, and what lands in your account
• How to set up your first bank account
• How to build a budget you can stick to (template included)
• How to set up an emergency fund and know how much you actually need
• How credit works, and what moves your credit score up or down
• Understanding how credit card interest works and how to manage debt
• The basics of retirement options and an introduction to investing
• What it takes to prepare for buying a home

Each lesson stands on its own, so you can work through the whole series or jump straight to whatever’s most relevant to you right now.

Why We Built This

I’m Brittany Heller, and I’ve spent the last eight years working in workforce development and training. Over and over, I’ve seen the same gap where people land good jobs, sometimes it’s their first solid paycheck ever, and nobody’s ever walked them through the basics. Things like how to set up a bank account, what those retirement benefits actually mean, or how to build a budget that you can follow so the money doesn’t just disappear a few days after each pay day. 

This is never a personal failing. Personal finance just isn’t something most of us are ever formally taught, in school or anywhere else. For a lot of people, it’s a blind spot they don’t even realize is there.

We wanted this course to close that gap and help people feel more confident in their financial future.
