The last week of January is Identity Theft Awareness Week:  Take this opportunity to help your learners understand how to protect their personal information. MoneySKILL includes a dedicated module on identity theft that teaches students how to recognize risks, safeguard their data, and respond if their information is compromised. It’s a great time to incorporate this lesson into your classroom and spark conversations about digital and financial safety.

February is Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month:  Many CTE educators utilize MoneySKILL to help students build essential personal finance skills that support their career pathways. From budgeting and banking to credit, insurance, and workplace readiness, MoneySKILL offers flexible modules that align well with CTE programs. Looking for a quick overview?
