645 students through their BizKid$ financial education-related programs.  As the program expands
October 4, 2014
Travis Credit Union teamed up with the Fairfield-Suisun Chamber of Commerce, Solano County Office of Education (SCOE), and the Fairfield-Suisun Unified School District to create a Work-Ready Certification (WRC) Program to help students stand out in the workforce.
Designed to validate that students have the necessary entry-level skills as identified by the local business and industry community, the WRC Program enables students to be both successful in the workplace and also become contributing citizens of the community, both locally and globally.  Travis Credit Union received a BizKid$ Financial Education Grant from  the National Credit Union Foundation (NCUF) to help fund this initiative.
A key element of the WRC Program is the BizKid$ curriculum.  Sponsosred by Travis Credit Union, the BizKid$ courses teach students how to make and manage their money, sharpen their entrepreneurial skills, and succeed at financial planning.  As part of the WRC program, BizKid$ was succfully implemented in all six school districts of Solano County, which serves mostly low-income students.
\As a stakeholder in our community, Travis Credit Union strives to empower our members and communities with information and knowledge that helps them understand their options, make smart choices, and take charge of their financial lives,\" said Sherry Cordonnier
