The Financial Wellness Center is free service for FVTC students and is a partnership between FVTC and Goodwill of North Central Wisconsin. Students can get help with budgeting, using credit wisely, managing debt, student loan debt and more, which ultimately helps them stay in school longer and complete their degree.
Dia has made significant progress achieving her financial goals since she began financial coaching services in December 2018. “In school, you want to focus on your studies, not other things like your finances," she says. "With these services, I was able to have peace of mind."
