How it works:
Students begin by taking a pre-test to determine a baseline. They then engage in life scenarios, where they have a job, rent, car payment, and other such life expenses & income.Through the scenario they choose they learn how to navigate situations that arise, such as car broke down, what now? Health issues happen –what do I do? At the end of the program another test is taken to determine skills learned.
Teachers may register multiple classes. They may ask the sponsor (CPI Member) to their classroom to speak to the students.
The program already meets state standards and is currently used in all 50 states, just not every school.
Many banks and credit unions are already sponsors, but more are needed. Which is why CPI is a great fit.
CPI’s mission statement is to provide community involvement!
You can further your career by becoming a sponsor and network
