Yogyakarta, 18-22 November 2024, the Training of Trainers (ToT) on Financial Education for Families organized by Financial Education International ILO and the ILO International Training Center has officially ended. The program was attended by representatives of coastal universities, OJK, KKP, Disnaker Trans Jateng, Energy House, AP2HI, BPR, BP3MI, 2R Association, and SBMI. Participants were given a comprehensive guide on “Financial Literacy” for families, what it means, its relevance to everyday life, and how we now consider ourselves “financially literate”.
In addition, participants were also given links to resources that can help them and/or other family members improve their understanding of financial matters. TOT participants were trained in financial concepts such as determining a budget, choosing savings products, using credit products wisely, choosing payment instruments, getting to know financial institutions, and risk and insurance management and were given strong communication skills to convey this information clearly to their audience.
