Finanical Literacy Training Services

What is Financial Literacy?
Financial literacy is the ability to make smart, informed financial decisions - and is more important today than it has every been.  Limited finanical expertise and inadequate financial resources to meet the demand in First Nation communities have significantly hindered the economic health of communities.  SEDI has helped non-profits across Canada build their in-house financial literacy capacities so that they can better tackle the needs of their communities.  KTEI is pleased to have a SEDI certifified in-house trainer to meet the requests of First Nation communties in the area of financial literacy.
