Financial Literacy
I am happy to announce the Workforce Development Group has formed a partnership with Chase Bank to offer FREE financial literacy classes. Within the past few years, Chase has launched an initiative to help advance racial equity by supporting Black, Hispanic, Latino, and other underserved communities with their financial wellbeing. We had the pleasure of meeting with George Santos and Brandon Mells who are both Community Managers with Chase, who put on the financial classes throughout Chicago and surrounding areas. Between, George and Brandon, they have 31 years in the financial industry.
Below you will see dates, times, and locations on where each class will be held. Also, you will find flyers attached to the emails you can print and give to those you supervise. We ask that while meeting or speaking with people under supervision, you solicit their interest in attending these classes. Should you have an interested individual, please provide them with the locations that are closest to them and how to sign up (instructions for signing up are in the information below). Please send Craig Boudy, Jason Christiansen, or Raven McMillan the name of the person who is interested.
Below you will see dates, times, and locations on where each class will be held.
