Jill Krahn, owner of the Salon Professional Academy Fargo, explains how the math of money is for everyone — especially beauty students.

Danielle Markley and Hays Academy are dedicated to a holistic approach to education. By combining technical skills with financial literacy, they are setting a new standard in the beauty and wellness industry, ensuring their graduates are not only skilled but also financially savvy and prepared for long-term success.

Stephanie Liebel, who serves as an education leader at PMTS Fort Myers, emphasizes the critical need for financial education and highlights the prevalent gap in financial literacy, which often leads to high levels of money anxiety among students.

There comes a time in most students’ lives when the reality of having to make the transition into the working world hits. For most students, discussions around money often evoke anxiety and fear, as the topic can open the door to a vast, overwhelming unknown.

Over the course of 5 days, in partnership with Pivot Point, we dug deep into the transformative power of financial literacy for school curriculums. We talked about what success requires, how to graduate hireable students, the language of money, and so much more.
