State Treasurer Deb Goldberg said that by partnering with Money Experience, community college students will have access to a resource that should help them learn to be fiscally healthy.
Goldberg created the Office of Economic Empowerment in 2014. "People of all ages and backgrounds need the skills required to navigate today's financial environment," she said.
The course will be available for a classroom setting or a self-paced virtual format.
All Massachusetts community colleges that would like to access the course can apply on the OEE's website.
