SSWIB works so youth can complete at least a high school education level & have access to the info/training necessary to become a viable part of the workforce.

@JohnHopeBryant Dropping out of HS impacts both micro and macro economics! #FinLitSummit

#FinLitSummit thank you Ted Beck for working with the Nonprofits. Not only do we train teachers we work side by side with them

[Chris Shannon @SouthShoreWIB]

@TedBeck Great analogy: assuming those teaching financial literacy in schools and programs know contents! #FinLitSummit

[Chris Shannon @SouthShoreWIB]

@TedBeck Doing more of the same doesn't always work--need to re-examine methods and make hard choices for improvement. #FinLitSummit

[Chris Shannon @SouthShoreWIB]

Panelists are all making points about value of experiential education--how can we link financial ed with behaviors? #FinLitSummit

[Chris Shannon @SouthShoreWIB]

@FinEdChat @johnhopebryant He sure does! Link financial ed to college and career readiness, such as entrepreneurship training.

[Chris Shannon @SouthShoreWIB]

Should we require financial ed for all public job training programs/services, like UI? #FinLitSummit
