Introduction

In today's fast-paced world, adults often face critical decisions regarding their careers and finances. In response to this need, GLOBIS and NVIC have partnered to launch a new video series titled "The Game of Money and Career." This free series, available on the GLOBIS unlimited learning platform, aims to help adults navigate the complexities of career growth and financial management.

Why Learn About Career and Finance Together

Today's workforce is characterized by an ever-expanding array of career options and learning opportunities. As professionals are increasingly encouraged to take charge of their careers, understanding financial instruments like NISA and iDeCo becomes essential for effective asset management. However, navigating career paths and financial strategies is not separate; rather, they are interlinked aspects of a single journey. Each decision — whether pursuing a qualification, engaging in training, or utilizing various financial options — gradually accumulates to shape one's career trajectory and financial future.

This series seeks to consolidate both themes into comprehensive narratives, providing insights into how these decisions can collectively influence long-term outcomes. With an emphasis on collaborative learning, GLOBIS supports professionals in their career development, while NVIC brings expertise in investment education. The ultimate objective is to promote critical thinking about future choices.

Overview of the Series

The video series consists of three installments scheduled for release on June 1, 2026, with free access extended until June 9, 2026. Each episode tackles different aspects of career and financial strategies:

1. Episode 1: The Game of Money and Career - Qualifications and Financial Systems
This episode prompts viewers to reconsider how they engage with professional qualifications and corporate financial systems like DC plans and insurance during their early career. Understanding these factors can greatly influence long-term personal and professional growth.

2. Episode 2: The Game of Money and Career - Training and Point Systems
As individuals become more comfortable in their roles, they may inadvertently postpone essential learning and asset-building activities. This episode highlights the importance of engaging in training programs and maximizing the benefits of NISA and iDeCo for ongoing growth.

3. Episode 3: The Game of Money and Career - Career Advancement and Asset Building
This installment focuses on pivotal career transitions, such as promotions and role changes, and how they necessitate savvy financial planning. Strategies for tax reduction and asset development are discussed to equip viewers for informed future decisions.
