Financial Literacy Workshops
Tailored Workshops for Specific Needs
Common Wealth holds Employment and Financial Literacy Workshops at schools and other community agencies. These workshops can be specifically tailored to meet the needs of a unique group and adapted to a timeline that supports youth’s schedules. Recent workshops have included topics such as resume development, financial literacy education, and post-secondary pathway planning. Each workshop varies based on scheduling needs but often includes hour-long sessions across three to eight weeks.
Workshops that Meet Youth Where They Are
Workshops are designed to establish healthy foundational skills and reinforce youths’ confidence as they work towards their goals.
Workshops can include:
Employment Skills Training:
Learning How to Tackle Job Searches and Applications
The pre-employment portion of our workshops takes the mystery out of job hunting and reveals secrets of impressive job applications. We perform mock interviews that help students learn how to answer typical interview questions. This opportunity for preparation focuses on strengthening students’ skills and giving them the confidence to apply and interview successfully for their first job.
Financial Literacy Training: Cultivating Wisdom with Money
The financial literacy component of our workshops can help youth understand how to maximize their paycheck once they start earning. We teach them the basics of saving and budgeting, help them understand financial institutions, and discuss some big mistakes to avoid.
