FVTC wins financial literacy award
Two years ago, Fox Valley Technical College created a program that helps people budget for the future, in case they lose their job, and the state is taking notice.
The school is receiving a Financial Literacy award for its Financial Wellness Center.
Patti Jorgensen is Fox Valley Tech's vice president of community development. She says financial planning isn't always a topic that people think about. She says people were slow to sign up when the program first started, but now they serve between 300 and 400 per year.
Jorgensen says they require people to get financial planning help, if they request emergency funding or lose their financial aid.
