Flagler Technical College has been awarded a $5,000 grant for the second consecutive year from the Florida Financial Literacy Initiative. This statewide program, managed by the Florida Literacy Coalition and supported by Wells Fargo, will allow FTC to continue and expand its financial literacy programming for Adult General Education students and their families.
A solid understanding of personal finance is essential for economic independence and individual empowerment. Navigating modern banking, credit, and household budgeting often presents unique challenges. By continuing to weave financial education into its Adult General Education framework spanning Adult Basic Education, GED preparation and English for Speakers of Other Languages, FTC equips students with the practical tools required to confidently manage their finances, ultimately securing a more stable future for their households.
