Resources: Vital Information When You Need It Most

Our resource page was recently updated. It is divided into four sections. We believe anyone should be able to access a free quality education whether it is to learn business skills, safeguard their business, for job advancement or for enrichment purposes.

We are passionate about helping employees and their families, especially in times of crisis.
Most of us have worked with someone who was struck with a tragic accident or illness. If you have ever felt helpless or wondered what you could do to help a co-worker or their family, learn more about YouCaring in our resources section. This is a site where a colleague, family member or friend can set up a fundraising page. What sets YouCaring apart from its counterparts is they have never charged a fee. One hundred percent of the money raised helps persons in need. The only fee that is charged is from PayPal. Donations are deposited as soon as they come in.

Please review our resource page.

Debt-Free Education

Free courses abound today that allow a person to design or customize a quality education. A common term used to describe free access to education is open courseware. Many government organizations, colleges and universities offer a broad array of courses. Some also offer certificate programs.

Five have been added to our resource tab. Each of these resources provides a course certificate, a program certificate and/or a course transcript which can be used to learn new skills, demonstrate knowledge, perform with excellence in the workplace or obtain a promotion.

Last week team members attended most of a five day conference. At the conference one young man disclosed he had amassed an $83,000 debt obtaining a four year degree.  We know of another individual that earned a master's degree, is unemployed, and owes $102, 000. Astronomical school bills are leading to financial distress in many situations. Many students repay a school bill for twenty years. Basically they are mortgaging their financial future in hopes of finding employment.

Some Americans feel locked out financially. They can neither qualify for a grant or scholarship, afford the cost or indebtedness with an uncertain outcome.

For savvy individuals willing to conduct research, it is possible to attain a comparable education. Some colleges and universities will allow students to purchase college credits for some of the above coursework, but it comes at a price. Another possibility is to print off the educational requirements for a job, or community  college degree and take free courses that satisfy the criteria. It may not result in a college degree, but may satisfy a degree equivilency.
