Why is adulting so hard sometimes? No doubt this is a question most of us still grapple with from time to time... The good news?
Codecademy is offering a free online crash course in adulting so that high schoolers and college students being impacted by covid-19 closures can use this additional time to learn the real-life skills they'll need to succeed as adults.
Ambiguously titled “Non-Technical Life Skills,” topics range from personal finance, removing stains from clothing, to filing for taxes, and general knowledge on loan interest. Other “adulting” lessons include how-tos on picking a health insurance provider, having healthier relationships, using LinkedIn for networking and job-searching, and more.
The course is a culmination of topics Codecademy’s curriculum team wishes had been taught in U.S. public schools. It's free and available to anyone, not just students (for those of us who may need a refresher).
Additionally, in mid-March Codecademy announced a giveaway of 10,000 scholarships to support students and teachers impacted by the current COVID-19 crisis. They’ve far surpassed that number now, giving away over 80,000 scholarships, and increasing daily.
