The Fourth Federal Reserve District will host a panel discussion on the significance of financial literacy in career navigation. The online event is scheduled for Thursday, April 17, 2025, from 3:00 to 4:00 pm Eastern Time. A group of experts will discuss strategies for workforce participants to gain and apply financial skills, which are crucial for making informed career decisions.

"Financial literacy is important for success in any career. It gives people the knowledge, skills, and tools to make informed decisions. However, it is often a missing topic in conversations that prepare people to enter the workforce," states the announcement.

The discussion will focus on how educational institutions and organizations can incorporate financial literacy into conversations about career planning. The goal is to improve career readiness by teaching participants to understand key financial concepts, enabling them to make better decisions regarding compensation, benefits, and retirement options.

"Our panelists will discuss how current and future participants in the labor force can gain and use financial literacy. These financial skills will help them to navigate career decisions," the announcement further explains.

Attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions after the presentation, enhancing their understanding of how financial literacy can be part of career success strategies.
