Description:
The Illinois unemployment rate recently hit 10.3%, the highest it’s been since
1992. Many consumers are worried about losing their jobs and are looking
for ways to retool, develop new career skills, and earn additional income. This
interactive training will focus on how to teach youth and limited resource audiences
to “take charge of their career” in today’s markets. Guest speakers
from the financial planning industry, state agencies, and local businesses will
discuss key employment issues facing consumers such as preparing financially
for employment transitions, constructing a career roadmap, and gearing up for
changing employment opportunities. Conference participants will receive the DVD-based Financing Your Future curriculum, which includes
5 videos with complementary lesson plans to help students and clients develop
the skills they need to establish successful career paths and secure financial
futures.
