On May 24, the students of Tatitlek School in Alaska will be visiting Global Credit Union to learn about financial literacy and career development. Tatitlek School will visit Spokane with 24 people in attendance including students, staff and parent chaperones. During their visit, Global Credit Union Department Managers and Vice Presidents will talk about careers in finance for older students while younger students will learn about the save, spend, share philosophy.
“These field trips leave an everlasting impact on our graduates when they leave us and give them the chance to see things they may not get to see otherwise,” said Tatitlek Principal Dr. Jed Palmer. “Visiting Global Credit Union will allow them to focus on the Career Development content area in their report card. We like to try to touch on standards that are more difficult to do in the village. Instead of using the internet or watching videos, they will be able to visit a real-life credit union and see about the different career opportunities that exist in the financial services industry.”
