HR Thursday ~ Offering College Savings Benefits to Support Your Employees presented by The Finance Authority of Maine (FAME) hosted by the LA Metro Chamber
Many Maine employers want to help their employees plan for future higher education expenses - either for themselves or their children. The Finance Authority of Maine (FAME) now has College Saving Counselors who are available to you and your employees to talk about college savings options, including Maine's 529 program, NextGen 529.
This presentation will go over how College Savings Counselors are here to help Maine families learn how they can save and pay for education after high school. One of the top financial concerns for families is saving for future higher education costs. Time spent worrying about the topic can take away from an employee's productivity while at work. Employers who wish to promote financial wellness planning for employees can utilize College Savings Counselors.
