Financial Education Classes Are Available For Department Meetings

[January 7, 2010]

Your Fidelity Retirement Services Retirement Counselor is available to come to your department to deliver one or more of a series of financial education classes at your convenience. The classes discuss the advantages of the UC Retirement Savings Program and are designed specifically for UC faculty and staff. Topics include the following:

  • How to create an investment strategy
  • How to manage your account online
  • How to create an income plan
  • How to manage debt

The classes are offered at no cost to your department, and each class lasts approximately 30 - 60 minutes. More detailed descriptions of each available class are available here.

What you need to do:

  • Contact your UC location's Retirement Counselor to schedule a meeting.
  • Schedule the room.
  • Announce the meeting.

Your Retirement Counselor will do the rest! We will bring a laptop, projector and all the necessary handouts.

Need less? If your department doesn't have time for a class, your Retirement Counselor can offer your employees a Help Desk in your department to answer general questions.
