Financial literacy is important because it equips us with the knowledge and skills we need to manage money effectively. Without it, our financial decisions and the actions we take—or don’t take—lack a solid foundation for success. And this can have dire consequences.
On Wednesday, October 23rd, 2019 Work Force juniors were joined by four eager Teacher- Counselors, Rudy the Alumni Coach, TWA Program Coordinator Janelle, and the founders of Entedupe, Andrew Duperval & Dejoli Tchoumi, to teach them about credit, savings, investments, and budgeting.
The students walked away knowing the importance of managing their money, building a credit profile, strategies to save money each month, and types of risk when investing. Our goal is that with increased financial capability, our students will be able to transition from surviving to thriving. The future success of our students relies on providing opportunities for them to learn, develop, and strengthen core life skills they need today and more importantly their future.
