Financial education
Financial education
Webinars, in-person workshops, and video capsules—every format is used to ensure our members make informed financial decisions. By organizing educational workshops in collaboration with our community partners, we aim to help municipal employees develop financial autonomy.
High levels of household debt and a low savings rate have become important issues. Together, we can take concerted action and encourage our members to improve their financial situation.
We offer more than fifty retirement planning workshops each year. Would you like to offer this service in your municipality? Whatever your challenge or need, we can deliver tailored webinars.
