CNBC will debut Wednesday its first paid course, a new educational venture developed by the editorial team behind its “Make It” franchise, reports Sara Fischer of Axios.

Fischer writes, “The new course, called ‘How to Ace Your Job Interview,’ will provide interview tips and tricks, insights into how hiring managers think, and guidance about how to handle tricky interview questions.

“It will be hosted by Hanna Howard, a senior work editor for the “Make It” editorial franchise, which focuses on entrepreneurial content and financial wellness tips and tricks.

“The course will cost $99 for 100 minutes of video content plus a companion workbook. CNBC is offering a launch discount of $50 for the entire course.
