Celebrate Financial Literacy Month and Enhance Your Education

November is financial literacy month, and it’s the perfect time to take advantage of educational opportunities before Knowledge Bureau’s December 15 registration deadline for Designation Programs.

Enhancing your knowledge is an essential part of growth and development in life. According to Statistics Canada, research has shown that “in a knowledge-based economy and society, economic opportunities and active participation in the broader society are increasingly linked to an individual’s ability to command and control his or her own life.” For older adults, these educational aspirations are often motivated by their desire for career development; whereas for the younger demographics, their interest in educational endeavors is frequently driven by a desire for both personal and professional growth.

Regardless of age or your personal motivations for learning, there are some commonalities that apply to adult education, according to Malcolm Knowles, a pioneer in the field. To be interested and engaged in education, adults must:

1. Understand why something is important to know or do
2. Have the freedom to learn their own way
3. Have experiential learning opportunities
4. Have the opportunity to learn when the time is right for them
5. Engage in a learning process that feels positive and encouraging

At Knowledge Bureau, we’ve customized our Designations and Programs to meet these unique educational needs:

• Programs and courses are timely and relevant, with updated content that covers current issues. In today’s uncertain tax climate, all financial professionals should be up to speed on the latest tax changes and their implications on small businesses and personal wealth management.
• Courses are available online 24/7, and you can learn at your own speed.
• Real-world examples and worksheets provide hands-on, experiential learning opportunities.
• Knowledge Bureau is also focused on networking, invested in the success of our graduates, and focused on rewarding their achievements.
