A Crash Course in Adulting
Getting Ahead: A Roadmap to Career Clarity &
Financial Freedom
Our Youth are
Distracted and Aimless
Are you tired of competing with phones and being ignored every time you talk to your student about their future?
Is your student bored with outdated curriculum that fails to engage and excite Gen Z'ers?
Or maybe you simply lack the time to teach career planning and personal finance!
I get it—I was a youth not that long ago. It can feel
frustrating, even defeating, to motivate them into action.

The Career Options are
Overwhelming and Life-Altering
We live in a rapidly changing world that has seen a mental health crisis arise in the United States, particularly among young people.
When it comes to "adulting," youth often feel insecure, overwhelmed, and paralyzed by the career choices in front of them. They are trying to figure out who they are—and where they are going—for the first time, often without a map. They face pivotal questions like:
Should I rack up debt to get a degree that may or may not secure me a viable career?
Do I even like this field?
Should I settle for a mediocre job
just to pay the bills?
Every employer seems to require years of experience…where do I even start?
They Need to Be
Guided and Inspired
Shockingly, personal finance is not a required class to graduate across the majority of U.S. high schools.
Little emphasis is placed on whether a chosen career can support a person's lifestyle and build wealth long-term.
Consequently, the majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. So, is it any wonder this cohort is more:
Young people need a roadmap to viable careers and financial management. They long to be inspired by someone they can relate to — not a person who could be their parent or grandparent. (Sorry parents, you know how it goes!) What they need is:
The right education can transform lives,
and that’s why I’ve created....

Meet Your Instructor
Hi, I’m Lindsay Dawson
I’m the Founder and CEO of uThrive Academy, and I’m on a mission to help young people go from surviving to thriving, no matter their situation! I know firsthand what it’s like to start out with little resources and direction, and what it takes to be successful. As the first college graduate in my family, I’ve worked in a variety of industries, including for the Central Intelligence Agency, and have long championed youth empowerment policies abroad and in the U.S.Â
It was during my transition into the nonprofit world as an Economic Empowerment Director that I saw the need for comprehensive and engaging economic empowerment resources. I created uThrive Academy as an answer to the lack of practical systematic support I, and millions of others like me, have received on career and financial planning for far too long. No longer do our young people have to make huge, life-altering decisions or struggle into adulthood alone.

FAQs
Why do you combine career readiness and personal financial literacy into one master course?Â
These two subjects are inextricably dependent on each other, but yet are rarely taught together.  The fact is, you can’t manage money you don’t have, and you can still end up broke if you don’t know how to manage the money you are making. They should be taught together, and uThrive is leading the way.Â
Who is this course designed for?
Anyone who is in a career transition or is struggling with their finances will benefit from taking this course, and it is particularly helpful for young people aged 14 to 25.
Â
How do I know this course will work for me?
This course is based on decades of personal and professional experience and seeing what financial literacy and career readiness education works and doesn’t work. While I can’t guarantee that this course will 100% work for every single person who takes it, I’m confident that if your child or student puts in the work outlined in this course, they’ll have everything they need to create lasting success and wealth.
How long will this course take to complete?
I didn’t design this course to be something kids take once and never come back to. I created it as a resource they can come back to over and over again as they progress through different stages in their career and financial journeys.
