Why We Created This Course

Initially, when we designed this course, our goal was to give you information that opens your eyes to the vast possibilities of flexible work. Then we realized that you don't just need that, you also need a toolkit that teaches you how to research your industry to discover new possibilities that fit your life. You need a clear, step-by-step way to explore options, compare paths, and feel confident about the choices you’re making. That’s why this course is designed to guide you beyond ideas into action—so you can discover whether flexible employment, freelancing, or another non-traditional path is right for you. You can then start to make decisions and move forward with clarity.

If you're struggling to make a traditional 9-5 full-time job “fit” because you’re caregiving, managing health needs, juggling family schedules, or simply looking for a better balance, this course is right for you. The truth is, the 9-to-5 work model doesn’t work for everyone at every stage of life — and it doesn’t have to.

Explore Flexible Work Options is an online course that shows you practical, real-world alternatives to a traditional, full-time job. You’ll learn about alternative work arrangements that feel more adaptable, sustainable, and — as we once called it — organic.
