Powercat Financial wants to provide all undergraduate students with a competitive edge to stand out to future employers or graduate and professional schools! Financial capability is an important skillset any student should possess upon graduating. To assist students in achieving financial capability we have two K-State 360 badges that enhance students' financial capability.
"Get Money Savvy with CashCourse" badge: Obtain financial skills training on a variety of essential financial skills via courses offered in the free online financial tool at CashCourse.org.
To achieve this badge you must 1) Register for the free CashCourse.org online financial tool, 2) participate in Hands-on CashCourse Training via Zoom, and 3) complete just four of the financial courses offered in CashCourse.
The next Hands-on CashCourse Training Workshop will be offered at 4 p.m. online via Zoom Monday, Feb. 3.
Alternative workshop dates will be hosted approximately once a month thereafter as noted in K-State 360 and on the Powercat Financial calendar of events.
