Build these basic business and networking skills to excel in your dream job.

Many people are discouraged because they are stuck in a job from which they see no exit. Or, worse, you don't have a job and are looking for one, but you don't want to settle for a job without a future.

You're frustrated because you know you can succeed if you're given the chance. But you know that you need to stand out from the competition to get the chance. And you don't have the time or money to go back to school.

You recognize that you need networking opportunities but still feel helpless because you don't know how to proceed. You feel that more business skills, certification and help in networking could really move you forward.

It's painful because not much that you learned at school can be applied in the business, government or not-for-profit sector in which you work or want to work.

And you're frustrated because you cannot find an affordable program that lets you build your business and network skills on your own time, without tons of reading, and without time wasted commuting to class.

You're discouraged because you know that you would really benefit from personalized guidance but can't get it.

About The Instructor and Program Director, Jay Moulton

Program Director

Jay Moulton

I first learned Economics some time ago. I had no idea if I would pass that course or even survive Harvard Business School.  I found it tough sledding, but I survived and actually exceeded my expectations. So, many years later, when I had the opportunity to choose a college-level introductory course that would most benefit from short, broadcast animations and videos, I chose Economics.I’ve worked with hundreds of professors, teachers, consultants, PhDs, filmmakers, animators, and students to identify and illustrate the real-world economics concepts that give learners the biggest headaches, then to solve those problems with some of the best educational videos on the planet.As a corporate finance and turnaround specialist, I've successfully applied these principles to my own businesses and to others across North America.  I remain a trusted advisor to companies and have the capacity to add new clients.I promise you that, with your effort and these videos, we’ll help you exceed your expectations too.PS: If you have questions or want to schedule a call, please send me an email.

"Mentorship really makes a difference! In the last five years, I have worked in corporate sales for companies including Microsoft, Xerox and Bell. I have excelled in my sales career because of my continuous education and ambition to do more. Combining my motivation and skill set with Jay's insights and experience has really helped me advance my corporate career and networking results.  Econblox's business economics course helped me better understand my clients' businesses. Econblox videos are superior to any other educational videos that I have seen.  I found that most online courses were not designed to be delivered online and didn’t engage.  Not this one! I highly encourage you to test drive these Econblox courses to see how they work for you."  Robert Prasher, Enterprise Account Executive


"The films have a fast tempo that respond to students' attention spans and will help many tremendously. The animations are clear, sleek and understandable."  Emilie Johnsson,  Student, Concordia University


"Incredible career event!  Jay showed up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to turn around my employer, a failing environmental remediation company.  I worked closely with Jay to accomplish the task.  We turned the company around in 9 months! Understanding economics, and its application in the real world, is an essential business skill and was key to my career advancement.  The Econblox videos are some of the best educational videos I have ever seen."  Terry Whipple, Executive Director, Juneau County Economic Development Corporation, Wisconsin


"Fantastic training for highly applicable cross-sector skillsets.  As a Harvard MBA who has worked extensively with not-for-profit organizations, it was great to find Jay. He is an experienced, multi-industry veteran, with relevant not-for-profit experience. His ability to transform complex business concepts and networking know-how to easily digestible courses is remarkable. These skills prove to be just as essential to career success in the not-for-profit sector as they are in the for-profit sector. I was able to quickly apply these learnings to both advancing my own career and leading my not-for-profit clients to success."  Sandy Liu, Marketing Executive and Entrepreneur

"I think this effort is outstanding and I'm recommending it to my students."   Mike Fladlien,  Economics Teacher, Iowa

"The videos are very concise and to the point...the application of real world examples makes them very easy to follow ... perfect length."  Ryan Besse,  Student, McGill University

"These guys demonstrated time and time again, their understanding of what it takes to create truly successful and engaging educational videos."  Daniel Rivet,  Executive Director, Ideeclic
