JourneyGuide helps them leverage technology to provide successful retirement advice. We are proud to help Olivet College students work with leading retirement software to graduate more prepared.”
Ash Brokerage is an insurance Brokerage General Agency located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The company represents four main categories of products, including life insurance, long-term care insurance, disability insurance and annuities.
“We are pleased to provide such a powerful retirement income planning tool to Olivet College’s personal financial planning curriculum,” said Michael J.

“All wealth management firms use some type of software,” said Areerat “Poy” Lertchaipitak, Ph.D., assistant professor of business administration. “JourneyGuide is well known and frequently used by financial advisers. If our students are trained to use the program while they are still in school, they can easily transition to work for a company who uses this program, avoiding additional training time and costs. This will put our students at an advantage when they enter the workforce.”
