The Employment Classroom: Understanding your pay and budgeting
September 10 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
Are you interested in learning more about all the stages of the employment journey and the steps you can take to lead you on a path to success? We are offering a series of workshops that cover many topics related to finding a job, keeping a job, and thriving in the workplace.
Join us Wednesday, September 10 to learn about how to read a pay stub, how to plan a budget, and how to avoid financial scams.
Specifically, you will:
- Learn the skills you need to manage your personal income, and understand that expenses and having a budget are the most basic tools you need in your financial toolkit.
- Understand why it is important to distinguish needs from wants in your own personal finances.
- Identify gross income from all sources and deductions from gross income on a pay stub.
- Adjust a personal budget to allow you to achieve a simple financial goal.
The workshop combines classroom instruction and time to practice what you’ve learned with support from the facilitators, if needed. Attendees to these workshops must be able to participate independently.
** Please note: Space in these workshops is limited and advance registration is required. **
