Waypoint #5
Ahoy!
We know many federal agencies are experiencing drastic cuts or elimination of their training budgets. One critical training component for federal employees is dedicated training on the Federal Employee Retirement System (FERS) Retirement Benefits Training and the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS). These trainings provide federal employees with essential information to fully understand their annuity and other retirement benefits options. The FERS and CSRS are two of the most robust retirement plans in the country and have many components that can be challenging to navigate. Teaching federal employees so they know those components and understand the available options is critical to them to maximizing their retirement benefits to sustain them through their retirement years.
Individuals can register independently, or agencies can register blocks of employees to attend for a nominal fee per participant. Our fee covers the costs of hosting the webinar and a comprehensive electronic training handbook for each participant.
Serving the financial readiness education needs of federal employees aligns with our mission to educate those who serve. The federal government is the largest employer of our veterans with over half a million veterans continuing to serve in agencies across the country and around the world!
We ask you, our loyal friends, advocates, volunteers, supporters, learners, and partners to help us spread the word about our upcoming training. Individuals and agencies can register here.
Thank you so much! We couldn’t do what we do without you!
Gratefully yours,
Tom
