McGill Personal Finance Essentials course helps workers manage a changing labour market 

Canada’s economy is shifting quickly, and RBC is working with a number of universities to deliver microcourses, short, targeted training to help users gain sought-after skills at no cost.

The McGill Personal Finance Essentials course is one of them. Developed in collaboration with McGill University, Western University, and the University of Guelph, RBC Online Microcourses offer Canadians a faster, more accessible path to job-ready learning.

The course is designed to help individuals build financial knowledge, which can be especially relevant for workers navigating economic uncertainty, according to Benjamin Croitoru, an Associate Professor of Finance at McGill Desautels. “It’s not just about money, though. It’s about a sense of financial security that can be a huge relief, stress-wise,” Croitoru told The Future of Good.
