Successful Conclusion To Financial Foundations Programme

Here in Tobago, the Division of Finance, Trade, and the Economy is celebrating the successful conclusion of a program designed to build generational wealth. Dozens of Tobagonians now have the tools to secure their financial futures after completing the Financial Foundations Programme. The Financial Foundations Programme officially wrapped up this week, marking a significant step towards empowering Tobagonians to take control of their economic destinies. Over several weeks, participants delved into critical topics often left out of the classroom – from smart investing and managing debt to the complexities of homeownership. With studies indicating that less than 30 percent of adults in Trinidad and Tobago demonstrate a sound understanding of basic financial concepts, this initiative comes at a crucial time. The final session focused on a subject many people avoid: Wills and Estate Planning, led by Attorney-at-Law, Ms. Jonica Romeo. She guided attendees through the process of protecting their legacy. Officials said that the program’s primary goal was to cultivate lasting financial security and plant the seeds of generational wealth. For this graduating class, that mission has undoubtedly been accomplished.
