Goodwill Manasota recently received a grant from SunTrust to assist in expanding and exporting financial literacy training for local low- and moderate-income workers. Goodwill is partnering with SunTrust to update and enhance three classes on basic financial literacy, including budgeting and debt reduction, while providing tools and resources to make sound financial decisions. Coursework will be developed by Goodwill Manasota and SunTrust, piloted through presentations to employees at local businesses. The pilot program will require pre-registration and will be conducted on-site during lunch breaks; post-workshop evaluations and interviews will be conducted following the conclusion of the pilot program. Additionally, the program will be translated into Spanish and, once the curriculum is complete, Goodwill Manasota will partner with Goodwill Ambassadors – community members who are committed to supporting Goodwill’s mission – to make coursework available to employers throughout Goodwill’s four-county service area.
