1. CareerSavvy
• CareerSavvy gives students the background information they need on industries so
that they can make informed decisions about launching their careers.
• And it doesn’t stop after getting the offer. Students will continue to have access to
the CS platform so that they can negotiate better salaries and promotions
2. MarketSavvy
• The Intention of MarketSavvy is to create a forum for participants to get a real world
feel for how to follow the Financial Markets. It is meant to be complementary to the
theory learned through school by giving a more practical and Market focused
approach to understanding the Global Financial universe.
• The focus here will be on the US financial markets which will act as a ‘global
currency’ for any career in finance participants intend to pursue.
3. InvestorSavvy
• The Primary focus of this part of the program is to give each individual the
confidence to be able to invest for themselves. Whether your intention is investing
for retirement or speculation, InvestorSavvy will give you the tools you’ll need to
execute and manage your investments for yourself. We will turn the ‘noise’ of the
advisory and media industries into practical steps to controlling your financial
futures.
• Although not necessarily a continuation from MarketSavvy, topics discussed here will
certainly assist you in the process

able to follow the international trading markets
