Truist Financial Corporation brings their Truist Life, Money, and Choices event to CBA
Wednesday morning, the Falcon gym was busy with students deciding on what it will take to live as an "adult" in the world. The Truist Life, Monday and Choices program is a new financial education program for community organizations tailored specifically for high school and college students. This initiative is aimed at empowering younger generations with financial lessons and essential skills to navigate their financial futures.
Truist Life, Money, and Choices, is a scalable, in-person, free training module that gives participants the opportunity to explore different financial strategies and understand the consequences of their choices. The event was facilitated by Truist teammates, the simulation features up to 12 learning stations, each representing a different set of expenses and choices.
Each participant is assigned a personal financial profile outlining his or her occupation, income and family composition, along with a transaction ledger to record financial transactions. With their profiles and ledgers in hand, participants make their way through each station, receiving guidance and support from Truist teammates, and making their own decisions.
The students were engaged, excited and involved in the whole event and received some real world realities for what they will be facing in the very near future.
