OC students get primed for financial success
A local partnership with a non-profit company, Launch Financial Education Society (Launch 澳门六合彩开奖结果查询), is powering up to help 澳门六合彩开奖结果查询 College students boost their financial literacy this spring.
Starting March 2, OC students will benefit from a free financial literacy program hosted online by Launch 澳门六合彩开奖结果查询. The Primer for Life series is an interactive, five-week program that offers students a chance to learn about their relationship with money, consumerism, budgeting, saving and credit. A number of 澳门六合彩开奖结果查询 College Business students are also volunteering as facilitators and ambassadors to help encourage their peers in other program areas to drop into the sessions to boost their financial literacy.
Xiaochen Yang is one of those students lending her time and expertise to help raise awareness for the program. Yang is enrolled in OC鈥檚 School of Business Post-Baccalaureate Diploma program in Accounting and while she has always had an interest in numbers, this workshop means something different for her.
鈥淚t鈥檚 important for us as post-secondary students to know how to manage our wealth and educate ourselves on personal finances,鈥 says Yang. 鈥淭his is a chance for us to build another skill and give us an idea of how to wisely deal with our incomes.鈥
The Primer for Life program is geared to young adults in post-secondary and will be delivered virtually, allowing OC students from across the 澳门六合彩开奖结果查询 region to participate.
鈥淭his program was created to provide youth with the financial knowledge and skills they need to feel confident in making financial decisions,鈥 says Jennifer Robins, Executive Director of Launch 澳门六合彩开奖结果查询. 鈥淲orkshop sessions are free and there aren鈥檛 any financial or income restrictions you need to attend 鈥 everyone is welcome.鈥
A new financial topic is covered each week and, to accommodate busy academic and work schedules, students can choose from two time slots per week to attend.
