[Natfinwellness] Financial literacy-type certification for educators working with college students?

[Villalobos, Christina]

Hi Michelle,

Are you positive that the Inceptia program has been discontinued? I ask because I just completed my registration for the Inceptia online Personal Financial Management certification yesterday!  My registration fee had been pre-paid by my department a couple weeks ago but I still was able to complete all my registration info yesterday and order my study material.

Hi everyone,

I work for TRiO Student Support Services, which means that I work with low-income and first-generation college students (and students with disabilities) and help them progress toward their bachelor's degrees. In an effort to improve how our program educates students about financial literacy (financial literacy education is one of the federal requirements for our program), I was planning to complete the Inceptia Personal Financial Management online certification next month. Unfortunately, I was just informed that that program has been discontinued. So I was hoping the brilliant minds of this listserv might be able to point me towards other options for increasing my own financial literacy knowledge and skills so that I can improve our services for our students. Specifically, I'm interested in an online program that I can do at my own pace, and the program should be aimed at educators of college students. Bonus points for a program that also covers cultural competency/cultural differences in relation to financial conversations. Any thoughts and resources would be appreciated. Thanks so much!
